Data contained on the CASA Web site is archived data and may be at least one-month old. More current air quality data is available at individual organization's Web sites. At the present time, current air quality data is available for stations operated by Alberta Environment, the Wood Buffalo Environmental Association, the Parkland Airshed Management Zone, the West Central Airshed Society, the Fort Air Partnership, the Palliser Airshed Society, and the Peace Airshed Zone Association.

This report summarizes the work of the Multi-Stakeholder Group on Particulate Matter and Ozone (the MSG). The MSG was formed in early 1998, through the Clean Air Strategic Alliance. Its purpose was to advise Alberta Environment on the development of Canada-Wide Standards for particulate matter and ozone, and on the development of Alberta ambient air quality guidelines for these two substances. Membership and Terms of Reference of the MSG, along with a record of meetings and key milestones.

Explains how Alberta's air quality is affected by natural factors, like climate and weather, and human factors, such as economic activity and industrial emissions. Long-term air quality data for several important contaminants and Alberta's approach to managing air quality are detailed in the report.

This report recommends a new management framework for air emissions from Alberta’s electricity sector. This multi-pollutant framework represents an important step that, over time, will result in significant reductions in five key substances. The approach incorporates elements from the current system and proposes new mechanisms that balance environmental and economic interests in the province.
The Electricity Project Team worked diligently and in good faith to reach consensus on the framework. Throughout the process, representatives from all sectors provided their views and perspectives, raised concerns and offered alternative solutions. This framework is a set of consensus recommendations, negotiated by the team and agreed to as a package. The package must therefore be considered in its entirety. If it is fragmented in any way, the overall framework can no longer be regarded as a consensus package with full stakeholder support.

Many industrial and personal activities result in the emission of compounds containing sulphur and nitrogen, which when deposited to terrestrial and aquatic systems may result in acidification of the recipient systems. Production and refining of oil and natural gas, coal- and natural gas-fired utility generation, transportation, agricultural operations, and other industrial and personal activities lead to the emission of compounds containing sulphur and nitrogen, the primary causes of acid deposition and environmental acidification. All of these activities are present in the Province of Alberta, along with ecosystems which are known or suspected to be sensitive to acid deposition.
Changes in the chemical properties of the soil or water occur when acid deposition exceeds the buffering capacity of the receiving system. Such chemical changes may modify the cycling of chemicals and nutrients within the system, the biological composition of the system, and the overall ability of the system to function. These changes may be subtle or dramatic within the affected area.

Alberta Environment maintains Ambient Air Quality Objectives1 to support air quality management in Alberta. Alberta Environment currently has ambient objectives for thirty-one substances and five related parameters. These objectives are periodically updated and new objectives are developed as required.
With the assistance of the Clean Air Strategic Alliance, a multi-stakeholder workshop was held in October 2000 to set Alberta’s priorities for the next three years. Based on those recommendations and the internally identified priority items by Alberta Environment, a threeyear work plan ending March 31, 2004 was developed to review four existing objectives, create three new objectives for three families of substances, and adopt six new objectives from other jurisdictions.
