Description

The Ministry assessed particulate matter and ozone data collected at Alberta monitoring stations between 2001 and 2012. These assessments were performed annually, and each covered a three-year period (2010-2012, for example). As a result of these assessments, the department assigned action levels to individual monitoring stations and to the Census Metropolitan Areas of Edmonton and Calgary. Episodes caused by natural, background or trans-boundary influences were removed in these assessments. These Fact sheets outline the assessment results.

Description

Ambient air quality assessment summary reports are produced annually under the Capital Region Air Quality Management Framework. The purpose of these reports is to assign an ambient air quality level to each monitoring station in the Capital Region for the Framework's four contaminants of concern. The 2011 assessment summary report contains level assignments for : NO2 and SO2 based on the 2011 data; and for PM2.5 and O3 based on the 2008-2010 data period.
