- 1. Exposure to tobacco smoke among Canadian nonsmokers based on questionnaire and biomonitoring dataArticles and reports: 82-003-X202100200002Description:
Surveillance by questionnaire and biomonitoring both have their own advantages and are fundamental in identifying the subpopulations most susceptible to second hand smoke exposure. Using a biomarker provides a quantitative estimate of relative exposure that can be compared over time and with other studies, and this is of particular interest for effective public health interventions.
Release date: 2021-02-17 - Articles and reports: 11-633-X2018013Description:
Since 2008, a number of population censuses have been linked to administrative health data and to financial data. These linked datasets have been instrumental in examining health inequalities and have been used in environmental health research. This paper describes the creation of the 1996 Canadian Census Health and Environment Cohort (CanCHEC)—3.57 million respondents to the census long-form questionnaire who were retrospectively followed for mortality and mobility for 16.6 years from 1996 to 2012. The 1996 CanCHEC was limited to census respondents who were aged 19 or older on Census Day (May 14, 1996), were residents of Canada, were not residents of institutions, and had filed an income tax return. These respondents were linked to death records from the Canadian Mortality Database or to the T1 Personal Master File, and to a postal code history from a variety of sources. This is the third in a set of CanCHECs that, when combined, make it possible to examine mortality trends and environmental exposures by socioeconomic characteristics over three census cycles and 21 years of census, tax, and mortality data. This report describes linkage methodologies, validation and bias assessment, and the characteristics of the 1996 CanCHEC. Representativeness of the 1996 CanCHEC relative to the adult population of Canada is also assessed.

This analysis uses data from cycles 1 (2007 to 2009) and 2 (2009 to 2011) of the Canadian Health Measures Survey to examine blood and urinary cadmium levels among Canadians aged 20 to 79, and associations with sources of exposure.
Release date: 2016-02-17 - Articles and reports: 82-003-X201400714039Description:
Using data from the first two cycles of the Canadian Health Measures Survey, this study examines the association between blood lead levels and blood pressure among adults aged 40 to 79.
Release date: 2014-07-16 - Articles and reports: 82-003-X201000311324Geography: CanadaDescription:
This study presents estimates of concentrations of two environmental chemicals in the population aged 6 to 79 years: lead and bisphenol A (BPA).
Release date: 2010-08-16 - 6. Lead, mercury and cadmium levels in Canadians ArchivedArticles and reports: 82-003-X200800410717Geography: CanadaDescription:
This article presents preliminary data on blood levels of lead, total mercury, and cadmium in Canadians from the first 8 collection sites of the Canadian Health Measures Survey.
Release date: 2008-11-19 - 7. Air quality in Canada ArchivedArticles and reports: 16-201-X20020006407Geography: CanadaDescription:
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?
