Canadian Environmental Sustainability Indicators (CESI) - Ground-level Ozone and Fine Particulate Matter (PM2.5) Concentrations at Monitoring Stations, Canada, 2009 (EC-FF171CBC-8D74-47AE-9FB3-95689A4172B8)
The air quality indicator presents annual average warm season (April 1 to September 30) ground-level ozone (O3) concentrations (8-hour daily maximum concentrations) in parts per billion and fine particulate matter (PM2.5) concentrations (24-hour daily average concentrations) in micrograms per cubic metre recorded at 188 monitoring stations for O3 and 156 monitoring stations for PM2.5 from across Canada in 2009. Ozone and fine particulate matter concentrations are not weighted by population.
Canadian Environmental Sustainability Indicators (CESI) - Air Pollutant Emissions by Facility, Canada, 2009 (EC-6491408B-C69B-4B6C-AE69-C79269C15ABD)
The air pollutant emissions indicator reports nitrogen oxides (NOx), sulphur oxides (SOx), volatile organic compounds (VOC), fine particulate matter (PM10 and PM2.5), total particulate matter (TPM), carbon monoxide (CO) and ammonia (NH3) emissions as reported to Environment Canada's National Pollutant Release Inventory.
Canadian Environmental Sustainability Indicators (CESI) - Water Quantity at Monitoring Stations in 2009 (EC-28B80A56-6BF8-484A-862E-0B13CDFB5D78)
The 2009 water quantity rating for a station is based on comparison of the most frequently observed condition that year with typical water quantity at that station between 1978 and 2007. Normal water quantities are specific to each region and do not refer to the same amount of water in each drainage region (e.g., normal water quantity on the Prairies is different than normal water quantity in the Maritimes). Natural stations are those with little or no human development upstream of the site to impact water quantity. Regulated stations have dams, diversions or other structures upstream. Water quantity data for seasonal sites are only collected for part of the year. Water quantity for the Great Lakes drainage region is based on rivers draining into the Great Lakes and not on the Great Lakes themselves.
Canadian Environmental Sustainability Indicators (CESI) - Emission of Toxic Substances to Air by Facility, Canada, 2009 (EC-58F5CBD2-0FF8-45C4-8EBF-6B3E4681F1B4)
The emissions of toxic substances to air indicator tracks the emission of two toxic substances, mercury (Hg) and hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)), to air as reported to Environment Canada's National Pollutant Release Inventory.
Canadian Environmental Sustainability Indicators (CESI) - Freshwater quality at monitoring stations for the 2007 to 2009 period, Canada (EC-FD38BC52-1030-4F2E-9C57-A2EE6100B21B)
The Freshwater quality indicator is calculated using the Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environments Water Quality Index. Water quality is assessed by examining the extent to which water quality guidelines for the protection of aquatic life are being met at selected river water quality monitoring stations throughout Canada. Care must be taken in comparing water quality categories between stations as methodological differences exist among jurisdictions.
Canadian Environmental Sustainability Indicators (CESI) - Greenhouse gas emissions from large facilities, Canada, 2012 (EC-14FBF089-FFC3-4315-9031-1A4C16B85FE4)
Unlike the National Inventory Report, which compiles GHG data at a national level and is developed from national and provincial statistics, the federal Facility GHG Emissions Reporting Program applies only to the largest GHG emitters in Canada (e.g. industrial and other types of facilities). In the Facility GHG Emissions Reporting Program, all facilities that emit the equivalent of 50,000 tonnes (50 kt) of CO2 equivalent of GHG per year are required to submit a report.
