A full day after it was issued, a dust advisory was canceled Wednesday morning - but another one could be on the way, officials from Northern Health and Ministry of Environment are warning.

A full day after it was issued, a dust advisory was canceled Wednesday morning - but another one could be on the way, officials from Northern Health and Ministry of Environment are warning.

The advisory was ended after the reading for coarse particulate fell below the threshold of 50 micrograms per cubic metere, "but with dry conditions expected over the next couple of days, there may be a chance that dust levels will build up again later in the week and another advisory may be issued at that time."

Readings for coarse particulate, or PM 10, on Wednesday morning were 41 micrograms per cubic metre at Plaza 400 downtown, 14 at College Heights and 34 at the BCR industrial site.

For fine particulate, the readings were eight downtown, and five at College Heights.
