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.

Description

The Framework describes a cumulative effects management approach to four contaminants of concern: Nitrogen dioxide, sulphur dioxide, fine particulate matter and ozone. The Frame work adopted particulate matter and ozone trigger values set by the Clean Air Strategic Alliance's Particulate Matter and Ozone Management Framework. This Technical Supporting Document describes the setting of trigger values for nitrogen dioxide and sulphur dioxide.

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.
