- Articles and reports: 82-003-X202000300002Description: The purpose of this study was to assess the risk of non accidental and cause specific mortality associated with long term exposure to PM2.5 among immigrants after they arrived in Canada, and to assess how this risk compares with that of the non immigrant population. Using the Canadian Census Health and Environment Cohort, this study also sought to determine the influence of several immigrant specific variables on the PM2.5 -mortality association, including duration in Canada, country of birth, age at immigration and neighbourhood ethnic concentration.Release date: 2020-06-17
- Articles and reports: 11F0019M2019013Description: The need to measure both the desirable outputs (goods and services) and the undesirable outputs (emissions of greenhouse gases [GHGs] and criteria air contaminants [CACs]) from economic activity is becoming increasingly important as economic performance and environmental performance become ever more intertwined. Standard measures of multifactor productivity (MFP) growth provide insights into rising standards of living and the performance of economies, but they may be misleading if only desirable outputs are considered. This study presents estimates of environmentally adjusted multifactor productivity (EAMFP) growth using a new comprehensive database. This database contains information on GHG and CAC emissions, as well as on the production activities of Canadian manufacturers.Release date: 2019-05-08
- 3. Snow cover trends in Canada ArchivedArticles and reports: 16-002-X201200111640Geography: CanadaDescription: This article examines the average area covered by snow (snow cover extent) nationally for the 39 year period from 1972 to 2010 and is the fifth in an ongoing series of short analytical articles featuring climate related data. This and future articles in the series are the product of ongoing collaboration among Statistics Canada, Environment Canada and Natural Resources Canada.Release date: 2012-04-04
- 4. Sea ice trends in Canada ArchivedArticles and reports: 16-002-X201100411599Geography: CanadaDescription: This article examines trends in the average area covered by sea ice during the summer in Canada's north for a 43 year period and is the fourth in an ongoing series of short analytical articles featuring climate related data. This and future articles in the series are the product of ongoing collaboration among Statistics Canada, Environment Canada and Natural Resources Canada.Release date: 2011-12-08

This paper examines eco-efficiency, the pattern of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions per unit of output, between 1990 and 1996.
Release date: 2003-09-16 - Articles and reports: 11-624-M2003001Geography: CanadaDescription: This paper looks at Canada's greenhouse gas emissions and provincial changes in eco-efficiency.Release date: 2003-05-30
- 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?
Release date: 2002-11-06 - Table: 57F0008XDescription:
The study contains data on carbon dioxide (C02) equivalent emissions by iron and steel manufacturers according to size of establishment. The results are based on 1998 data from the Industrial Consumption of Energy and the Annual Survey of Manufacturers.
