Air Quality Stations

The air monitoring stations measure up to 6 common pollutants like:

  * ground-level ozone
  * fine particulate matter
  * nitrogen dioxide
  * carbon monoxide
  * sulphur dioxide
  * total reduced sulphur compounds

The Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks continually monitors air quality across Ontario. We use this information to:

  * inform the public about outdoor ambient air quality through the Air Quality Index (AQI) and Smog Advisory program
  * assess Ontario's air quality and evaluate long-term trends
  * identify areas where pollutant levels are exceeded
  * identify the origins of pollutants
  * develop air policy
  * provide quantitative measurements to reduce specific pollution sources
  * determine the significance of pollutants from long-range transports and their effects
  * provide air quality researchers with data to link environmental and human health effects to air quality

Sudbury Area Reference Lakes Water Quality

Water chemistry data with geographic coordinates from lakes primarily in the Sudbury area of Ontario since 1981. Several lakes spread throughout the Sudbury acid rain damage zone had a natural buffering capacity protecting them from experiencing a severe drop in lake pH. Twenty-two of these lakes were selected to act as a local non-acidified reference set, for intermittent monitoring of baseline conditions in the region.

Water chemistry sampling included several key monitoring components, including:

* Acidity: pH, alkalinity, sulphate
* Nutrients
* Colour, clarity and organic matter
* Metals and other ions

Water systems that sought regulatory relief due to COVID-19 pandemic

Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks allowed temporary system-specific regulatory relief to address challenges posed by the pandemic such as operational flexibility to accommodate social and physical distancing or adjust processes to help protect staff. Relief was only granted when requested and when ministry officials were satisfied that public health and the environment would continue to be protected. This temporary relief has been issued with an expiry date that may be extended during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Weighted clearance rates

**This data set is no longer compiled by the Ministry of the Solicitor General.**

The weighted clearance rate is based on the same principles as the Police
Reported Crime Severity Index. In these figures,  serious offences are
assigned a higher "weight" than less serious offences.

For example, solving homicides and robberies has a greater contribution to the
overall weighted clearance rate than solving minor theft or mischief cases.

Ontario’s Emissions Trading Program Data

This historic dataset includes data reported under Ontario’s now revoked Emissions Trading Program regulations (O. Reg. 397/01: Emissions Trading and O. Reg. 194/05: Industry Emissions - Nitrogen Oxides and Sulphur Dioxide). 

The Emissions Trading Program ended in February 2021, as the program achieved its objectives by meeting its emission reduction obligations and targets. 

The program set limits for nitrogen oxides (NOX) and sulphur dioxide (SO2) emissions from regulated facilities and allowed for the transfer or trade of emission allowances and credits between facilities, to provide flexibility for compliance. Regulated facilities included Ontario's large electricity generators, and petroleum, iron and steel, pulp and paper, flat glass, cement, carbon black, and base metal smelting facilities.

Caribou Range Boundary

Shows areas where the health and prevalence of caribou can be linked to the
attributes of the land that supports them.

Ontario's Woodland Caribou Recovery Strategy (2008) provides advice and
recommendations on the approaches needed for the recovery of Woodland Caribou.

The strategy recommends the identification of ranges and local populations to:

  * maintain existing, self-sustaining, genetically-connected local populations of caribou
  * ensure security for and (reproductive) connections among currently isolated mainland caribou
  * re-establish caribou in strategic areas to create self-sustaining local populations and ensure connectivity
