Description

At higher concentrations, ground-level ozone has adverse human health effects, and is one of the most damaging air pollutants to vegetation. In Canada, federal, provincial and territorial governments are in the process of reviewing ambient national objectives as well as setting new Canada-wide standards for ozone. Available ambient ozone monitoring information from Alberta has been reviewed, and government agencies, industries and associations involved in monitoring ozone and its precursors have been identified. Also, published literature from Alberta after 1980 has been reviewed.
