GFL Environmental Reports Second Quarter 2025 Results and Raises Full Year 2025 Guidance
Revenue, Adjusted EBITDA 1 and Adjusted Free Cash Flow 1 all ahead of expectations, overcoming multiple external headwinds 8.3% organic price and volume growth excluding the impact of divestitures 2, a 170 basis point acceleration over the previous quarter Adjusted EBITDA 1 of $515.1 million, increase of 14.6% 3; Adjusted Net Income from continuing operations 1 of $101.5 million; Net income from continuing operations of $274.2 million Adjusted EBITDA margin 1 of 30.7%, 230 basis points increase over the prior year period 3, Solid Waste Adjusted EBITDA margin 1 of 34.7%, highest Q2 margin in Company's history Year-to-date completed acquisitions generating approximately $105.0 million in annualized revenue Raised full year 2025 Adjusted EBITDA 4 guidance approximately $50.0 million before considering the effect of foreign currency translation VAUGHAN, ON, July 30, 2025 /CNW/ - GFL Environmental Inc. (NYSE: GFL) (TSX: GFL) ("GFL", "we" or "our") today announced its results for the second quarter of 2025. "Our exceptional start to the year continued into the second quarter, thanks to the hard work and commitment of our over 15,000 employees," said Patrick Dovigi, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of GFL. "Our continued focus on execution drove top line growth of 9.5% 2 and industry leading Adjusted EBITDA margin 1 expansion of 230 basis points over the prior year period 3. Our strong performance, achieved amid continued macroeconomic uncertainty and headwinds from lower commodity prices, underscores the resiliency of our business model." Mr. Dovigi continued, "The success of our first half results sets us up to increase our full year 2025 guidance. We are increasing our guidance for Adjusted EBITDA 4 to between $1.950 billion and $1.975 billion and Adjusted EBITDA margin 4 expansion of 120 basis points year-over-year at the mid-point to reflect stronger organic financial performance in the base business inclusive of foreign currency translation. Any incremental M&A, improvement in commodity prices or macroeconomic variables provide potential upside to our guidance. Our M&A pipeline remains robust and we are highly confident in our ability to meet or exceed our M&A capital deployment targets for 2025. The expected back-end weighting of this year's M&A activity results in lower current year contribution but sets us up for a larger roll over amount in 2026." Mr. Dovigi concluded, "We remain laser focused on executing on our strategic plan that we laid out at Investor Day including driving industry leading growth and improving Adjusted Free Cash Flow 1 conversion through continued optimization of our existing platform. In addition, our returns focused capital deployment strategy allows for the flexibility to execute on accretive M&A, strategic reinvestments and return of capital to shareholders." Second Quarter Results 3 Revenue of $1,675.2 million in the second quarter of 2025, increase of 9.5% excluding the impact of divestitures 2 (5.9% including the impact of divestitures), including 5.8% from core pricing 2 and 2.5% from positive volume 2. Adjusted EBITDA 1 increased by 14.6% to $515.1 million in the second quarter of 2025, compared to $449.4 million in the second quarter of 2024. Adjusted EBITDA margin 1 was 30.7% in the second quarter of 2025, compared to 28.4% in the second quarter of 2024. Net income from continuing operations was $274.2 million in the second quarter of 2025, compared to net loss from continuing operations of $531.9 million in the second quarter of 2024. Adjusted Free Cash Flow 1 was $137.1 million in the second quarter of 2025, compared to $111.0 million in the second quarter of 2024. The increase of $26.1 million was predominantly due to an increase in Adjusted EBITDA 1 and reduction in cash interest paid, partially offset by an increase in cash capex net of incremental growth investments and investment in working capital. During the second quarter of 2025, we repurchased 3,470,158 subordinate voting shares under our normal course issuer bid. We intend to continue to be opportunistic on further share repurchases going forward. Year to Date Results 3 Revenue of $3,235.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, an increase of 10.9% excluding the impact of divestitures 2 (7.4% including the impact of divestitures), including 5.8% from core pricing 2 and 1.8% from positive volume 2. Adjusted EBITDA 1 increased by 14.3% to $941.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $823.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024. Adjusted EBITDA margin 1 was 29.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to 27.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2024. Net income from continuing operations was $60.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to net loss from continuing operations of $727.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. Adjusted Free Cash Flow 1 was $150.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $129.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase of $21.3 million was predominantly due to an increase in Adjusted EBITDA 1 and reduction in cash interest paid, partially offset by an increase in cash capex net of incremental growth investments and investment in working capital. 4 GFL also provided its updated guidance for 2025 assuming a USD/CAD exchange rate of 1.37 for the remainder of the year (compared to 1.41 provided in our original guidance on February 24, 2025). Revenue is estimated to be between $6,550 million and $6,575 million, up compared to original guidance by approximately $110 million before considering the effect of foreign currency translation. Adjusted EBITDA is estimated to be between $1,950 million and $1,975 million, up compared to original guidance by approximately $50 million before considering the effect of foreign currency translation. Full year Adjusted EBITDA margin is expected to be approximately 29.9% at the mid-point of the range, increase of 120 basis points compared to the prior year. Adjusted Free Cash Flow is reaffirmed at approximately $750 million. Net Leverage is estimated to be in the low 3.0x range by the end of 2025. The 2025 updated guidance includes the expected contribution of acquisitions completed as of August 1, 2025, net of divestitures completed to date, but excludes any impact from acquisitions not yet completed. Implicit in forward-looking information in respect of our expectations for 2025 are certain current assumptions, including, among others, no changes to the current economic environment, including fuel and commodities. The 2025 updated guidance assumes GFL will continue to execute on our strategy of organically growing our business, leveraging our scalable network to attract and retain customers across multiple service lines, realizing operational efficiencies and extracting procurement and cost synergies.

Forward-Looking Information This release includes certain "forward-looking statements" and "forward-looking information" (collectively, "forward-looking information") within the meaning of applicable U.S. and Canadian securities laws, respectively. Forward-looking information includes all statements that do not relate solely to historical or current facts and may relate to our future outlook, financial guidance and anticipated events or results and may include statements regarding our financial performance, financial condition or results, business strategy, growth strategies, budgets, operations and services. Particularly, statements regarding our expectations of future results, performance, achievements, prospects or opportunities, the markets in which we operate, or potential share repurchases are forward-looking information. In some cases, forward-looking information can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as "plans", "targets", "expects" or "does not expect", "is expected", "an opportunity exists", "budget", "scheduled", "estimates", "outlook", "forecasts", "projection", "prospects", "strategy", "intends", "anticipates", "does not anticipate", "believes", or "potential" or variations of such words and phrases or statements that certain actions, events or results "may", "could", "would", "might", "will", "will be taken", "occur" or "be achieved", although not all forward-looking information includes those words or phrases. In addition, any statements that refer to expectations, intentions, projections, guidance, potential or other characterizations of future events or circumstances contain forward-looking information. Statements containing forward-looking information are not historical facts nor assurances of future performance but instead represent management's expectations, estimates and projections regarding future events or circumstances. Forward-looking information is based on our opinions, estimates and assumptions that we considered appropriate and reasonable as of the date such information is stated, is subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other important factors that may cause the actual results, level of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking information, including but not limited to certain assumptions set out herein in the section titled "Updated Full Year 2025 Guidance"; our ability to obtain and maintain existing financing on acceptable terms; our ability to source and execute on acquisitions on terms acceptable to us; currency exchange and interest rates; commodity price fluctuations; our ability to implement price increases and surcharges; changes in waste volumes; labour, supply chain and transportation constraints; inflationary cost pressures; fuel supply and fuel price fluctuations; our ability to maintain a favourable working capital position; the impact of competition; the changes and trends in our industry or the global economy; changes to trade agreements, restrictions on trade, including sanctions, export controls, import duties, quotas, treaties, tariffs, trade wars, changes to trade and investment policies and other governmental actions; and changes in laws, rules, regulations, and global standards. Other important factors that could materially affect our forward-looking information can be found in the "Risk Factors" section of GFL's annual information form for the year ended December 31, 2024 and GFL's other periodic filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and the securities commissions or similar regulatory authorities in Canada. Shareholders, potential investors and other readers are urged to consider these risks carefully in evaluating our forward-looking information and are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such information. There can be no assurance that the underlying opinions, estimates and assumptions will prove to be correct. Although we have attempted to identify important risk factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking information, there may be other factors not currently known to us or that we currently believe are not material that could also cause actual results or future events to differ materially from those expressed in such forward-looking information. There can be no assurance that such information will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such information. The forward-looking information contained in this release represents our expectations as of the date of this release (or as the date it is otherwise stated to be made), and is subject to change after such date. However, we disclaim any intention or obligation or undertaking to update or revise any forward-looking information whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required under applicable U.S. or Canadian securities laws. Non-IFRS Measures This release makes reference to certain non-IFRS measures. These measures are not recognized measures under IFRS and do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Accordingly, these measures should not be considered in isolation nor as a substitute for analysis of our financial information reported under IFRS. Rather, these non-IFRS measures are used to provide investors with supplemental measures of our operating performance and thus highlight trends in our core business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on IFRS measures. We also believe that securities analysts, investors and other interested parties frequently use non-IFRS measures in the evaluation of issuers. Our management also uses non-IFRS measures in order to facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period, to prepare annual operating budgets and forecasts and to determine components of management compensation. EBITDA represents, for the applicable period, net income (loss) from continuing operations plus (a) interest and other finance costs, plus (b) depreciation and amortization of property and equipment, landfill assets and intangible assets, plus (less) (c) the provision (recovery) for income taxes, in each case to the extent deducted or added to/from net income (loss) from continuing operations. We present EBITDA to assist readers in understanding the mathematical development of Adjusted EBITDA. Management does not use EBITDA as a financial performance metric. Adjusted EBITDA is a supplemental measure used by management and other users of our financial statements including, our lenders and investors, to assess the financial performance of our business without regard to financing methods or capital structure. Adjusted EBITDA is also a key metric that management uses prior to execution of any strategic investing or financing opportunity. For example, management uses Adjusted EBITDA as a measure in determining the value of acquisitions, expansion opportunities, and dispositions. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA is utilized by financial institutions to measure borrowing capacity. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by adding and deducting, as applicable from EBITDA, certain expenses, costs, charges or benefits incurred in such period which in management's view are either not indicative of underlying business performance or impact the ability to assess the operating performance of our business, including: (a) (gain) loss on foreign exchange, (b) (gain) loss on sale of property and equipment, (c) share of net (income) loss of investments accounted for using the equity method, (d) share-based payments, (e) (gain) loss on divestiture, (f) transaction costs, (g) acquisition, rebranding and other integration costs (included in cost of sales related to acquisition activity), (h) Founder/CEO remuneration and (i) other. We use Adjusted EBITDA to facilitate a comparison of our operating performance on a consistent basis reflecting factors and trends affecting our business. As we continue to grow our business, we may be faced with new events or circumstances that are not indicative of our underlying business performance or that impact the ability to assess our operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA margin represents Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue. Management and other users of our financial statements including our lenders and investors use Adjusted EBITDA margin to facilitate a comparison of the operating performance of each of our operating segments on a consistent basis reflecting factors and trends affecting our business. Acquisition EBITDA represents, for the applicable period, management's estimates of the annual Adjusted EBITDA of an acquired business, based on its most recently available historical financial information at the time of acquisition, as adjusted to give effect to (a) the elimination of expenses related to the prior owners and certain other costs and expenses that are not indicative of the underlying business performance, if any, as if such business had been acquired on the first day of such period and (b) contract and acquisition annualization for contracts entered into and acquisitions completed by such acquired business prior to our acquisition (collectively, "Acquisition EBITDA Adjustments"). Further adjustments are made to such annual Adjusted EBITDA to reflect estimated operating cost savings and synergies, if any, anticipated to be realized upon acquisition and integration of the business into our operations. Acquisition EBITDA is calculated net of divestitures. We use Acquisition EBITDA for the acquired businesses to adjust our Adjusted EBITDA to include a proportional amount of the Acquisition EBITDA of the acquired businesses based upon the respective number of months of operation for such period prior to the date of our acquisition of each such business. Adjusted Cash Flows from Operating Activities represents cash flows from operating activities adjusted for (a) operating cash flows from discontinued operations, (b) transaction costs, (c) acquisition, rebranding and other integration costs, (d) Founder/CEO remuneration, (e) cash interest paid on early termination of long-term debt and (f) distribution received from joint ventures. Adjusted Cash Flows from Operating Activities is a supplemental measure used by investors as a valuation and liquidity measure in our industry. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, cash interest paid on early termination of long-term debt has been added back to Adjusted Cash Flows from Operating Activities. This amount was not paid in the prior period. Adjusted Cash Flows from Operating Activities is a supplemental measure used by management to evaluate and monitor liquidity and the ongoing financial performance of GFL. Adjusted Free Cash Flow represents Adjusted Cash Flows from Operating Activities adjusted for (a) proceeds on disposal of assets and other, (b) purchase of property and equipment and (c) incremental growth investments. Adjusted Free Cash Flow is a supplemental measure used by investors as a valuation and liquidity measure in our industry. Adjusted Free Cash Flow is a supplemental measure used by management to evaluate and monitor liquidity and the ongoing financial performance of GFL. Adjusted Net Income (Loss) from continuing operations represents net income (loss) from continuing operations adjusted for (a) amortization of intangible assets, (b) ARO discount rate depreciation adjustment, (c) amortization of deferred financing costs, (d) (gain) loss on foreign exchange, (e) share of net (income) loss of investments accounted for using the equity method, (f) loss on termination of hedged arrangements, (g) (gain) loss on divestiture, (h) transaction costs, (i) acquisition, rebranding and other integration costs, (j) Founder/CEO remuneration, (k) other and (l) the tax impact of the foregoing. Adjusted income (loss) per share from continuing operations is defined as Adjusted Net Income (Loss) from continuing operations divided by the weighted average shares in the period. We believe that Adjusted income (loss) per share from continuing operations provides a meaningful comparison of current results to prior periods' results by excluding items that GFL does not believe reflect its fundamental business performance. Net Leverage is a supplemental measure used by management to evaluate borrowing capacity and capital allocation strategies. Net Leverage is equal to our total long-term debt, as adjusted for fair value, deferred financings and other adjustments and reduced by our cash, divided by Run-Rate EBITDA. Run-Rate EBITDA represents Adjusted EBITDA for the applicable period as adjusted to give effect to management's estimates of (a) Acquisition EBITDA Adjustments (as defined above) and (b) the impact of annualization of certain new municipal and disposal contracts and cost savings initiatives, entered into, commenced or implemented, as applicable, in such period, as if such contracts or costs savings initiatives had been entered into, commenced or implemented, as applicable, on the first day of such period ((a) and (b), collectively, "Run-Rate EBITDA Adjustments"). Run-Rate EBITDA has not been adjusted to take into account the impact of the cancellation of contracts and cost increases associated with these contracts. These adjustments reflect monthly allocations of Acquisition EBITDA for the acquired businesses based on straight line proration. As a result, these estimates do not take into account the seasonality of a particular acquired business. While we do not believe the seasonality of any one acquired business is material when aggregated with other acquired businesses, the estimates may result in a higher or lower adjustment to our Run-Rate EBITDA than would have resulted had we adjusted for the actual results of each of the acquired businesses for the period prior to our acquisition. We primarily use Run-Rate EBITDA to show how GFL would have performed if each of the acquired businesses had been consummated at the start of the period as well as to show the impact of the annualization of certain new municipal and disposal contracts and cost savings initiatives. We also believe that Run-Rate EBITDA is useful to investors and creditors to monitor and evaluate our borrowing capacity and compliance with certain of our debt covenants. Run-Rate EBITDA as presented herein is calculated in accordance with the terms of our revolving credit agreement.

GFL Environmental (GFL) Evaluates Divestment of C$5 Billion Infrastructure Arm
GFL Environmental Inc. (NYSE:GFL) is one of the best high growth stocks. At the beginning of June, Bloomberg disclosed that GFL is evaluating the sale of a stake in its infrastructure subsidiary, Green Infrastructure Partners Inc., in a transaction valued at approximately C$5 billion, including debt. This potential deal reflects growing investor appetite for Canadian civil infrastructure, with prominent investment funds showing strong interest in participating. GFL has reportedly engaged in preliminary discussions with private equity firms including General Atlantic, Energy Capital Partners, and Neuberger Berman. If the transaction proceeds, it would represent one of the most significant infrastructure-related deals in Canada this year. An excavator at a landfill site operating amidst a pile of solid waste. For GFL, the partial sale of Green Infrastructure Partners represents an opportunity to gain capital to facilitate the subsidiary's continued growth. This move reflects wider market dynamics, as private capital increasingly targets infrastructure assets that offer long-term stability and reliable cash flows amid heightened market volatility. GFL shareholders are involved in early discussions about a possible sale, but nothing has been finalized yet, and core details are still up in the air. More bidders could join the mix as talks progress, with GFL focusing on long-term goals. GFL Environmental Inc. (NYSE:GFL) provides a range of non-hazardous waste management and environmental solutions, including hauling, landfill operations, material recovery, liquid waste management, and soil remediation for municipal, residential, commercial, and industrial clients. While we acknowledge the potential of GFL as an investment, we believe certain AI stocks offer greater upside potential and carry less downside risk.

Tony Ferguson to box Salt Papi on card headlined by Darren Till vs. Luke Rockhold
Tony Ferguson has his first bout set post-UFC. The former interim UFC lightweight champion will make his boxing debut Aug. 30 at AO Arena in Manchester, England, as he battles social media influencer Salt Papi in a middleweight boxing bout at Misfits Boxing 22: Ring of Thrones. The fight will serve as the co-main event to a boxing clash between former UFC stars Darren Till and Luke Rockhold. The promotion announced both bookings on social media Wednesday. Ferguson, 41, parted ways with the UFC after a submission loss to Michael Chiesa in August 2024. The defeat was his eighth in a row and his fifth finish loss in that stretch. Ferguson was briefly contracted to the quickly-evaporated GFL, and had been announced to fight vs. Dillon Danis for the promotion. Salt Papi, 31, whose real name is Nathaniel Bustamante, rose to fame through YouTube and TikTok, amassing millions of followers. He's competed seven times in influencer boxing, compiling a 6-2 record, largely against other influencers. Till, 32, has gone 3-0 in exhibition boxing since he requested his UFC release in 2023. He most recently competed in May when he defeated fellow UFC alum Darren Stewart by unanimous decision at Misfits Boxing 21. Rockhold, 32, departed the UFC in 2022 after a battle with Paulo Costa. He fought Mike Perry in April 2023 for BKFC and lost by second-round TKO, before a violent knockout win over Joe Schilling in Karate Combat in April 2024. Rockhold has remained active in the world of grappling since his UFC release. The upcoming bout will be his boxing debut.

UFC veteran Yoel Romero explains decision to sign with BKFC, still plans on continuing MMA
Now with BKFC, Yoel Romero plans to do both bareknuckle boxing and MMA. HOLLYWOOD, Fla. – Yoel Romero is expanding his portfolio in the combat sports world. The former UFC title challenger and fan-favorite fighter will be taking his talent to bareknuckle boxing, as he's signed with leading promotion BKFC. It was a move that excited many fans given Romero's power, athleticism, and rawness. The move to BKFC was something had been brewing for several years, but just now did all the pieces come together. "When I left the UFC, (BKFC) was always very interested," Romero told Hablemos MMA in Spanish. "In fact, that's when I came to know about them and we had a meeting with my manager, so there was a possibility there, but I wanted to continue fighting in MMA. So now that I leave Bellator, I was going to start with GFL, but now after what happened with GFL, we're looking for the best options to fight. Dave again reached out, along with Conor McGregor, who likes me, and said, 'Now is the time. Stop saying no, now is the time.'" A big selling point for Romero to sign with BKFC was the promotion willingness to allow him continuing his storied MMA career. Despite being signed with BKFC, Romero is able to fight in MMA and work with any promotion he wishes. "They did a great job because BKFC did a great job with my manager by giving me the opportunity, but also staying flexible. I can do BKFC, but also continue doing MMA," Romero said. "There are several organizations that are still interested in me fighting for them in MMA. But remember, everything has to be right with the purse. Everything has to be right with the purse. When you get to a certain level, the pay has to be right. You have legacy. You have name. So we're in agreement with BKFC: We're in. Now we're just negotiating the details of my debut in the ring." Apart from his brutal performances, Romero has made a name for himself being an ageless wonder. The 2000 Olympic Silver medalist in wrestling turned 48 this past April and continues to deliver knockouts. As mentioned in the past to MMA Junkie, "The Soldier of God" plans to match Bernard Hopkins retirement age of 52 and then call it quits, so long his body holds up. "That's the first thing I always have in mind: Bernand Hopkins," Romero said. "I plan on retiring at 52, but retire well, without taking a beating. That's why I live a very clean life and stay disciplined, to have a long career."

Stoney Creek residents demand protection from spiking levels of landfill ‘cat pee' odour
Neighbours of a stinky Stoney Creek landfill are demanding government action to protect their health after levels of 'rotten egg' pollution spiked well beyond legal limits last week. The province has told landfill operator GFL to hold a public meeting explaining how it will fix its stinky garbage juice treatment lagoon — but area councillor Brad Clark says he plans to ask for a review of potential health impacts on residents. Late last week, a monitoring station near the landfill's pond for leachate twice registered spikes of total reduced sulphur (TRS), a mix of gaseous air pollutants that include hydrogen sulphide — the culprit behind the 'rotten egg' sulphur smell. In an angry email chain, some landfill neighbours complained about the smell of cat pee and '100 dirty litter boxes' leaving them sleepless and breathless at 3 a.m. Desperate residents also brought their concerns to federal Conservative MP Ned Kuruc in a town-hall meeting last weekend, even though landfill regulation is a provincial matter. 'It was seeping into our homes with the windows closed … it was just awful,' said landfill neighbour Susan Chapman in a later interview. Even after the worst overnight smell subsided, it was 'impossible' to spend time outside during the day without gagging, she said. 'We would like the medical officer of health to take another look at the effects of what we're experiencing.' A leachate pond for the Stoney Creek landfill is apparently to blame for spiking 'rotten egg' odour. The measured pollutant levels topped 170 parts per billion over a short period early in the morning on both July 3 and 4, which is more than 10 times the Ontario air standard. It is also above an 'upper risk threshold' set by the province that triggers an automatic notice to the Ministry of Environment, Conservation and Parks. An after-hours environmental response officer visited the landfill lagoon and confirmed odour problems and 'exceedances' of total reduced sulphur, said ministry spokesperson Gary Wheeler by email. Wheeler said the province directed GFL to come up with a plan to deal with the lagoon issues — which are reoccurring this year — and also to schedule a public meeting to deal with neighbour questions and concerns. That virtual meeting is slated for July 24 at 6 p.m. The Spectator has reached out to GFL for comment repeatedly in recent weeks about landfill complaints but has not heard back. However, residents received an email acknowledgment from the company of more lagoon problems shortly after the odour levels spiked. 'GFL is experiencing issues with the leachate pond located within the (Heritage Green) dog park, which is causing odours,' reads the message. The company said it stopped the flow of garbage juice into the pond for an investigation and is undertaking 'mitigation measures,' including adjusting the leachate treatment process. 'We thank you for your patience during this time as we take active steps to resolve odour issues and strengthen our mitigation efforts,' reads the message. Wheeler said the company has 'voluntarily' complied with directions from the ministry to try to resolve the issue, but added the ministry is 'evaluating' recent odour measurement data 'and assessing the need for additional compliance actions.' The city's public health department previously commissioned independent air testing near the landfill in response to the infamous 2023 'summer of stink,' but those point-in-time test results did not show any direct health risks. Via email, the department said it reached out to the ministry to learn more about the recent odour incident, but noted the province is the responsible regulator for air quality. The latest spate of measurably high odour pollution, however, prompted Coun. Clark to put forward a notice of motion this week seeking to ask for a review of the potential impacts of 'public exposure' to the sulphurous spike. The notice also asks staff to examine what appears to be a growing number of ambulance calls to the ward involving respiratory distress. Councillors will consider the motion at a future general issues committee meeting. So could the overwhelming rotten egg stench literally make residents sick? It's not as simple a questions as it sounds, said Matthew Adams, a University of Toronto professor and air quality researcher who is studying hydrogen sulphide impacts in Hamilton, including around the landfill. Adams said while the recorded spike in stinky pollutants represents a 'very clear exceedance' of the ministry's protective threshold levels for odour, the concentrations are still not high enough to cause 'direct, serious health impacts.' But Adams emphasized that level of hydrogen sulphides would guarantee 'a very noticeable odour' — and that has 'real, meaningful impacts' on those exposed. 'In talking to this community, it is clear people are stressed out. The odour issue is affecting their sleep patterns, it is affecting their mental health.' Error!
