  • Articles and reports: 82-003-X201700514790
    Description:

    The present study sought to determine if large-scale patterns of association between ambient ultraviolet radiation (UVR) and melanoma incidence exist in Canada. Modelled UVR data were spatially linked to members of the 1991 Canadian Census Health and Environment Cohort, a dataset comprising 2.6 million census respondents who were followed for melanoma diagnosis over an 18-year period.

  • Articles and reports: 82-003-X201500814215
    Description:

    The data are from the first two cycles (2007 to 2009 and 2009 to 2011) of the Canadian Health Measures Survey, which collected biomonitoring indicators via spot blood and urine samples. Behavioural outcomes—hyperactivity/inattention, emotional symptoms, conduct problems, peer problems, and prosocial behaviour—were assessed with Goodman’s Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire. Geometric mean urinary Bisphenol A (BPA) concentration was examined overall and by demographic and socioeconomic correlates. Six multiple logistic regression analyses were conducted to investigate associations between childhood BPA concentrations and risk status for each outcome.

    Geography: Canada
    Description:

    For millennia, changes in the earth's atmosphere were the result of natural forces. Over the past century, however, these changes have escalated as a result of human activities-mainly unprecedented growth in global population and consumption of natural resources to increase industrial production-that degrade and destroy the forests and other vital ecosystems essential to atmospheric processes. Such human activities produce large quantities of substances that are released in the air, where over time they can overload natural processes and eventually reach harmful levels. The result is poor air quality in urban and rural areas around the world.

    This article addresses the following questions: What is the condition of our outdoor and indoor air? What effects does air quality have on our health and our environment? And what are governments and businesses doing to address air quality concerns?
