A new user friendly online tool is being released by the Ontario government so that the public can report incidents of pollution in real-time, all from a smart-phone.
The online tool has many features including allowing users to upload photos and videos, so that staff can respond quickly and effectively to keep communities safe. An option to create a secure login will also be available so that anyone who reports and incident can receive real-time updates on the incident.
Members of the public can visit ontario/reportpollution and fill out a simple form to report immediately if they witness:
– pollution (e.g. solvents, oil, fuels or chemicals) on land, in the water or air
– industrial or commercial noise pollution
– waste being dumped into the natural environment
– improper disposal of commercial waste
