Assessment report on ethylene for developing ambient air quality objectives

Description

Ambient air quality objectives are established as part of the Alberta air quality management system. The purpose of this assessment report was to provide a review of scientific and technical information to assist in evaluating the basis and background for an ambient air quality objective for ethylene. Ethylene is a naturally occurring compound in ambient air. It is produced at low levels by soil microorganisms, algae, lichens and plants. Anthropogenic sources of ethylene such as combustion of fossil fuels, and processing of natural gas in petrochemical facilities result in emissions that may substantially increase ambient air ethylene concentrations.
