Description

This report is the final deliverable of an air quality modelling contract. The study built upon previous modelling studies focused on central Alberta and expanded the scope to include all regions of Alberta. Other improvements in this study included modelling a complete calendar year, emissions inventory updates for key sectors, and sector-based source apportionment for seven distinct sectors. Province-wide source apportionment will help inform air quality management initiatives, such as managing against the Canadian Ambient Air Quality Standards and other provincial air quality frameworks.

Description

Alberta Environment and Sustainable Resource Development retained ENVIRON International Corporation and Novus Environmental Inc. to conduct regional air quality modelling to support South Saskatchewan regional planning, as well as to provide a better understanding of potential air quality issues in the South Saskatchewan Region. The Community Multiscale Air Quality Modelling system was used to predict air pollution concentrations for the 2006-2008 and 2020, 2050 future years at 36, 12 and 4 km resolutions.
