Description

The Government of Alberta is reporting to Albertans on the results of a technical investigation of air trigger exceedances for Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) and Sulphur Dioxide (SO2) at air monitoring stations in the Lower Athabasca Region (LAR) for the year 2012. The investigation was initiated under the Lower Athabasca Region Air Quality Management Framework for Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) and Sulphur Dioxide (SO2) (LAR AQMF) and helps fulfill a commitment made in the Lower Athabasca Regional Plan to initiate a management response when annual assessments indicate triggers or limits have been exceeded.

Description

Ambient air quality objectives are established as part of the Alberta air quality management system. The purpose of this document is to summarize selected primary literature on the effects of sulphur dioxide exposure on vegetation. This document is not intended to be a comprehensive review of the published literature. Instead an attempt was made to select work that would provide relevant information for reviewing the existing ambient air quality objective for sulphur dioxide for Alberta.
