The Canadian Environmental Sustainability Indicators (CESI) program provides data and information to track Canada's performance on key environmental sustainability issues. The Air pollutant emissions indicators track emissions from human activities of 6 key air pollutants: sulphur oxides (SOX),...

Tire wear particles end up on roads where they may run off into nearby rivers and lakes by rain and snowmelt. This study examined how toxic these tire particles are to eggs and the newly hatched larvae of the fathead minnow (Pimephales promelas). Tire particles were finely ground up and were...

This study aimed to identify chemical components that could distinguish chemical mixtures in oil sands process-affected water (OSPW) from natural groundwater sources. Oil sands process-affected samples were collected from two different oil sands development tailing ponds, and natural groundwater...

The Water Survey of Canada provided a digital archive of river ice thickness measurements at four hydrometric monitoring stations along the Liard River. The average ice thickness measurements were extracted and compiled to the attached .csv file. The stations include: Liard River at Upper...

Under the Clean Fuel Regulations (CFR), registered creators, foreign suppliers and carbon-intensity contributors can use the Fuel Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) Model to calculate a carbon intensity (CI) for the purposes of creating credits. In order to calculate those CIs, the following documents...

The Canadian Aquatic Biomonitoring Network (CABIN) is an aquatic biomonitoring program for assessing the health of fresh water ecosystems in Canada. Benthic macroinvertebrates are collected at a site location and their counts are used as an indicator of the health of that water body....

The Air Quality Health Index (AQHI) is a scale designed to help quantify the quality of the air in a certain region on a scale from 1 to 10. When the amount of air pollution is very high, the number is reported as 10+. It also includes a category that describes the health risk associated with the...

The Atlantic dataset is part of Environment and Climate Change Canada’s Shoreline Classification and Pre-Spill database. Shoreline classification data has been developed for use by the Environmental Emergencies Program of Environment and Climate Change Canada for environmental protection...
