The Canadian Environmental Sustainability Indicators (CESI) program provides data and information to track Canada's performance on key environmental sustainability issues. The Sea ice in Canada indicators provide information on the area of sea in Canada covered by ice during the summer season....

The Canadian Environmental Sustainability Indicators (CESI) program provides data and information to track Canada's performance on key environmental sustainability issues. The management of Canadian aquaculture indicator measures the percentage of aquaculture operation inspections where no...

The AdjDlyRS dataset contains adjusted daily rainfall (R) and snowfall (S) data from all Canadian stations reporting rainfall and snowfall for which we have metadata to do the adjustments (Wang et al. 2017). The processing includes inspection and adjustments using quality control procedures...

Major ions data consist of the following key ions in precipitation: Cl-, NO3-, SO4=, NH4+, Na+, K+, Ca++, Mg++. The data sets typically also include the pH and depth of the precipitation sample. These data are collected by several provincial, national and bi-national networks. The wet-only...

The Canadian Environmental Sustainability Indicators (CESI) program provides data and information to track Canada's performance on key environmental sustainability issues. The Air health trends indicators were developed as a tool to monitor trends in public health impacts in Canada attributable...

The Canadian Environmental Sustainability Indicators (CESI) program provides data and information to track Canada's performance on key environmental sustainability issues. If unsafe bacterial levels are measured in water samples or if shoreline surveys identify pollution concerns, Environment and...

Neonicotinoid insecticides are environmentally persistent and highly water-soluble, and thus are prone to leaching into surface waters where they may negatively affect non-target aquatic insects. Most of the research to date has focused on imidacloprid, and few data are available regarding the...

The Canadian Environmental Sustainability Indicators (CESI) program provides data and information to track Canada's performance on key environmental sustainability issues. The Sustainability of timber harvest indicator compares the amount of timber harvested with the estimated wood supply. Wood...

The Canadian Environmental Sustainability Indicators (CESI) program provides data and information to track Canada's performance on key environmental sustainability issues. The General status of wild species indicators summarize the general status of species in Canada. It also highlights the...

This data set contains concentrations of total recoverable and dissolved metals in wastewater Influent (INF), Effluent (EFF), Landfill Leachate (LCH), Biosolids (BIOS) and Sludge (SLG) sampled from various Wastewater Treatment Plants (WWTPs) and Landfills across Canada.

This data set contains concentrations of polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) in wastewater Influent (INF), Effluent (EFF), Landfill Leachate (LCH), Biosolids (BIOS) and Sludge (SLG) sampled from various Wastewater Treatment Plants (WWTPs) and Landfills across Canada. Scientific Publications:...

This data set contains concentrations of pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) and hormones in wastewater Influent (INF), Effluent (EFF), Landfill Leachate (LCH), Biosolids (BIOS) and Sludge (SLG) sampled from various Wastewater Treatment Plants (WWTPs) and Landfills across Canada....

The Canadian Air and Precipitation Monitoring Network (CAPMoN), operated by Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC), is designed to study the regional patterns and trends of atmospheric pollutants such as acid rain, smog, particulate matter and mercury, in both air and precipitation. The...

Monitoring of sea ice dynamics is of vital importance to our overall understanding of how the Arctic cryosphere is responding to changes in the Earth's climate. With the recent launch of the RADARSAT Constellation Mission (RCM) in 2019 and the continuing operation of the Sentinel-1 (S1) fleet,...

National Water Monitoring Program for Pesticides (NWMPP) water quality data are presented for a network of freshwater sites across Canada. A two-year pilot program is being conducted in partnership between Health Canada (HC), Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC), and Agriculture and...

Weekly precipitation quantity has been measured at both at the primary meteorological site as well as at five other sites within the watershed. Daily precipitation quantity has been measured at the primary meteorological site until 2017. Weekly chemistry analysis of H+, major ions, nutrients and...

This study set out to provide an up-to-date portrait of the per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) contamination status in a freshwater food web from the St. Lawrence River (QC, Canada). Water, sediments, aquatic vegetation, invertebrates, and some fish species were targeted for analysis. All...

Ammonia (NH3) data were collected at regionally representative Canadian Air and Precipitation Monitoring Network (CAPMoN) sites. Radiello brand passive samplers were deployed at 2 or 5 m above the ground for two week periods and analyzed by the National Atmospheric Deposition Program (NADP)...
