"In summary, the variable and light winds inhibit the horizontal movement of airborne pollutants out of the Alberni area, and inversions decrease the vertical dilution of contaminants, while precipitation influences decrease the vertical dilution of contaminants, while precipitation influences water quality.  As a result, Port Alberni is one of the poorest locations in Canada for diluting and dispersing airborne pollutants"  (Emslie, pers. comm., 1979).  )(Emslie, J.H. (pers. comm.).  Meteorologist, B.C.
