Description

Alberta Environment and Parks has completed the 2011-2013 Canadian Ambient Air Quality Standards (CAAQS) PM2.5 and ozone assessment. This report is the first such annual assessment applying the new CAAQS standards and approach. Alberta’s six air zones have been assessed for achievement against the CAAQS using thirty three ambient air monitoring stations distributed throughout the province. A summary of the CAAQS achievement status and the air management level for each air zone is presented in Table 1. Management actions have already been initiated within some air zones as part of Alberta’s implementation of the former Canada-wide standards for PM2.5 and ozone.

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.
