Description

This framework outlines a cumulative effects approach for managing ambient air quality in the Capital Region. It uses four ambient air quality levels and sets management and investigation triggers, which signal the need for specific action at regional or local scale before pollutants may become harmful to human or environmental health. The goal of this approach is to manage nitrogen oxide, sulphur dioxide, fine particulate matter, and ozone in the region and to provide clarity for all emitters about operating requirements for emissions management that may be necessary to respond to cumulative impacts of these contaminants.
