Air-quality investigators have pinpointed the source of a pungent rotten-egg stench that's been polluting the air in some neighbourhoods of Port Moody, B.C., near the Barnet Highway since Aug. 9. Investigators chased the stench and followed it upwind to confirm the source. A bright yellow pile of sulphur can been seen peaking through the yard of Pacific Coast Terminals near the Barnet Highway in Port Moody. According to a statement from vice-president Andre Olivier, the source of the smell poses no health risks. "The way we evolved, we can smell odours — particularly sulphurous odours or odours of something that's gone bad or rotten — at very, very low concentrations.
