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 2013 assessment summary report contains level assignments for : NO2 and SO2 based on the 2013 data; and for PM2.5 and O3 based on the 2010-2012 data period.

Description

The findings from the science investigation demonstrate that the fine particulate matter issue in the Capital Region is complex. Many factors can contribute to elevated particulate matter concentrations and the challenges in modelling fine particulate matter for source apportionment purposes contribute to this complexity.

Description

Cumulative effects management frameworks seek to balance anticipated development with environmental protection by using a triple bottom line approach to support the environmental and social and economic objectives in the region. The Air Quality Management Framework (the framework) develops ambient triggers and limits for specific substances. which become the indicators for ambient air quality.

Description

ENVIRON International Corporation and Novus Environmental performed the Capital Region Particulate Matter Air Modelling Assessment Study for the Alberta Environmental and Sustainable Resources Development (ESRD). The objective of the study is to develop a Photochemical Grid Model (PGM) modelling database for the Capital Region, which includes Edmonton and surrounding communities, that reproduces the observed winter elevated fine particulate matter (PM2.5) concentrations sufficiently well that it can be a reliable tool for analyzing source contributions to elevated PM2.5 concentrations and evaluating the effects of alternative emission control strategies on elevated PM2.5 concentrations. To achieve these objectives, the study was conducted in four tasks: Task 1: Base Case Emission Inputs, Task 2: Meteorological Inputs, Task 3: Photochemical Grid Modelling and Model Performance Evaluation, Task 4: Conduct Scenarios
