Business partners Irving Oil and British Petroleum are still deciding whether to go ahead with the construction of a second oil refinery in Saint John. Gordon Dalzell with the Clean Air Coalition tells CHSJ news if environmental concerns won’t deter them, maybe the economy will in North-Eastern United States where the oil would be shipped.
Dalzell says the existing refinery emits about 35 pollutants into the city’s air–and– a second refinery would further impact the health of Saint Johner’s for generations to come.
