Determination of the acute toxicity of river water collected in spring 2016 as part of the monitoring of the effects of the wastewater discharge resulting from the work carried out on the south-east interceptor. The main objective of this sampling program was to assess the toxicity of surface...

The inventory of emissions of main air contaminants (PCA) lists anthropogenic emissions of these contaminants into the atmosphere at the level of Quebec beginning in 1990. The Department produces this inventory to highlight the importance and evolution of emissions of air contaminants, which...

It is forbidden to sell certain pesticides intended for the maintenance of grass surfaces and to apply them to these same surfaces (Pesticide Management Code, arts. 25, 31 and 68). These pesticides contain one of the active ingredients listed in Annex I of the Code. This list, made available for...

Holders of a permit for the wholesale sale of pesticides (category A) must report, no later than 31 January of each year, certain information relating to the sales they made during the previous year (Regulation respecting permits and certificates for the sale and use of pesticides, section 54)....

This dataset covers the purchases and sales of halocarbons in Quebec since 1993. This data is used to produce the Report on the purchases and sales of halocarbons in Quebec annually. The halocarbons declared for sale are chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), halons, saturated hydrochlorofluorocarbons...

Hydro Quebec dataset on the factors of direct emission of greenhouse gases from energy sources in Quebec's import and export markets. Updated annually. ## Method Data from public sources external to the company is extracted and compiled. Direct greenhouse gas emission factors are presented for...

The Ministry of the Environment, the Fight against Climate Change, Wildlife and Parks (MELCCFP) monitors, with the responsible ministries and agencies, a semi-annual follow-up of each action included in the Implementation Plan (PMO) of the 2030 Green Economy Plan (PEV 2030). In particular, this...

Concentrations of particles and metals measured sequentially by the Quebec Air Quality Monitoring Network (RSQAQ). These data cover the fractions of respirable particles with an aerodynamic diameter equal to or less than 10 µm (PM10) and those of total suspended particles with an aerodynamic...

Pesticide classes make it possible to establish regulatory requirements in terms of the health and environmental risk posed by these products. In Quebec, pesticides are grouped into 5 classes. Class 5 includes pesticides that pose the least risk to health and the environment. This includes...

Hydro‑Québec dataset on electricity production and distribution in Quebec. Updated annually, the data is sent to the Régie de l'Énergie du Québec after being audited. Each history covers every hour of every day of a year and reflects the significant volume of electricity that passes through the...

The main objective of this sampling program was to assess the actual effects of the spill on sediment quality by comparing the results of analyses of samples taken during and after the spill with those taken before. The distribution of the stations aimed to assess the impacts of the spill near...

This wastewater sampling campaign in the south-east interceptor aimed to determine the acute lethality and the physicochemical quality of the water discharged into the river without treatment during the work carried out on the south-east interceptor between 11 and 14 November 2015.

Physico-chemical quality of river water in spring 2016 as part of monitoring the effects of the wastewater discharge resulting from the work carried out on the south-east interceptor in November 2015. The main objective of this sampling program was to assess the quality of surface water several...

The List of Vertebrate Fauna of Quebec (LFVQ) provides a portrait of all wild vertebrate species documented on Quebec territory. It also contains additional information such as the detailed taxonomy of species, the residence status of species in Quebec, the status of residence of species in...

It is forbidden to apply, for agricultural purposes, pesticides containing the herbicide atrazine or the insecticide chlorpyrifos, clothianidin, imidacloprid or thiamethoxam unless an agronomic justification has been obtained in advance (Pesticide Management Code, art. 74.1).
