Blenheim resident Scott Valk said while he was conscious to curb air pollution from his wood burner, he wasn't concerned about Blenheim's air quality. Data showed Auckland City Centre's annual air quality average last year was 15 micrograms of pollutants per cubic metre of air, while Blenheim's was 18. SCOTT HAMMOND/STUFF Mother-of-three Chontelle Janes says she is 'concerned' about Blenheim's air quality. "Air quality has improved in many locations over the past decade, which reflects the work councils have done to manage air quality in their areas," she said. Marlborough councillor Cynthia Brooks said air pollution solutions were unlikely to take off, as procedures took time and people liked log fires.
