Polybrominated diphenyl ethers in fish and sediment – PBDE subgroup concentrations in sediment relative to guidelines by drainage regions, Canada

The Canadian Environmental Sustainability Indicators  CESI  program provides data and information to track Canada's performance on key environmental sustainability issues. The Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers  PBDEs  in Fish and Sediment indicators identify the drainage regions where concentrations are within or have exceeded the Federal Environmental Quality Guidelines  FEQGs  for PBDEs in fish and sediment. The FEQGs were developed under the Chemicals Management Plan and are used in various ways. In this report they are used to evaluate the significance of monitoring data. This information is provided to Canadians in a number of formats including: static and interactive maps, charts and graphs, HTML and CSV data tables and downloadable reports. See supplementary documentation for data sources and details on how those data were collected and how the indicator was calculated.

Nutrients in the St. Lawrence River Indicator – Annual total phosphorus boxplots for nine water quality monitoring stations along the St. Lawrence River 

The Canadian Environmental Sustainability Indicators (CESI) program provides data and information to track Canada's performance on key environmental sustainability issues. The Nutrients in the St. Lawrence River indicator reports on the status of total phosphorus and total nitrogen concentrations along the St. Lawrence River. It rates total nitrogen and total phosphorus status based on whether total phosphorus and total nitrogen concentrations exceed Quebec's total phosphorus water quality guideline for the protection of aquatic life and a total nitrogen water quality guideline for the protection of aquatic life specific to the St. Lawrence River. Exceeding a water quality guideline suggests a greater risk to the health of the St. Lawrence River ecosystem posed by phosphorus and/or nitrogen.Information is provided to Canadians in a number of formats including: static and interactive maps, charts and graphs, HTML and CSV data tables and downloadable reports. See supplementary documentation for data sources and details on how those data were collected and how the indicator was calculated.

Nutrients in Lake Winnipeg – Status of phosphorus and nitrogen levels in Lake Winnipeg's 3 largest tributary rivers, Canada

The Canadian Environmental Sustainability Indicators (CESI) program provides data and information to track Canada's performance on key environmental sustainability issues. The Phosphorus and nitrogen levels in Lake Winnipeg indicator reports on the status of total phosphorus and total nitrogen levels in Lake Winnipeg and its 3 largest tributaries: the Red, Saskatchewan and Winnipeg rivers. The indicator assumes that water in the region would never be above phosphorus and nitrogen water quality criteria or objectives in the absence of human development. It provides information about how human activity contributes to phosphorus and nitrogen levels in lakes and rivers. The phosphorus and nitrogen status in Lake Winnipeg is established by comparing phosphorus and nitrogen levels to water quality objectives. Failure to meet a water quality objective suggests a greater risk to the health of the lake ecosystem. In rivers, phosphorus and nitrogen status is determined by the frequency with which a water quality objective is exceeded. The more often the criteria or objective is exceeded, the greater the risk to the health of the river ecosystems. Information is provided to Canadians in a number of formats including: static and interactive maps, charts and graphs, HTML and CSV data tables and downloadable reports. See the supplementary documentation for the data sources and details on how the data were collected and how the indicator was calculated.

Guidance: Infection Prevention and Control Measures for Healthcare Workers in All Healthcare Settings

"Gram-negative bacilli commonly encountered in healthcare settings include species such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Acinetobacter spp. and Stenotrophomonas maltophilia, and species belonging to the Enterobacteriaceae family, such as Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Enterobacter cloacae. Recent events indicate an increasing occurrence of antimicrobial resistance in Gram-negative bacteria. The carbapenem group of antimicrobials is a safe and generally effective treatment for severe Gram-negative bacterial infections when resistance to other classes of antimicrobials is present. When resistance to carbapenems occurs, there are often few alternative treatments available. Carbapenem-resistance in Gram-negative bacteria can occur by a number of different mechanisms. Identifying carbapenem resistance and distinguishing between these different mechanisms of resistance can be challenging for clinical microbiology laboratories. Carbapenem resistance develops as a result of the production of carbapenem-hydrolysing enzymes. These enzymes are usually encoded by genes carried on mobile genetic elements such as plasmids which can rapidly spread amongst related bacterial genera. Some notable examples of recently identified carbapenemases are:
•Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase (KPC) which is found mostly in K. pneumoniae but also in other Enterobacteriaceae. KPC producing microorganisms have caused major healthcare related outbreaks in Greece, Israel and north eastern USA;
•The OXA-type resistance genes found in Acinetobacter spp. Carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter has been identified worldwide but is currently rarely seen in Canadian hospitals.
•Metallo-ß-lactamases which are mostly found in P. aeruginosa and Acinetobacter spp., and rarely in other Enterobacteriaceae; and include the New Delhi metallo beta-lactamase (NDM-1 enzyme) found mostly in Escherichia coli and K. pneumoniae, but also seen in other Enterobacteriaceae. The New Delhi metallo beta-lactamase (NDM-1 enzyme) has recently been identified in India and Pakistan and in patients hospitalized in other countries after receiving health care in India and Pakistan.

Guidance: Infection Prevention and Control Measures for Healthcare Workers in Acute Care and Long-term Care Settings

"Seasonal influenza, a respiratory infection caused by the influenza virus is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality, especially in individuals who are at the extremes of age, pregnant, immune compromised, or have chronic underlying disease. Morbidity and hospitalization rates for influenza among healthy children less than 2 years of age are similar to those among adults over 65 years of age.

As with most acute viral respiratory infections, seasonal influenza occurs annually in the winter months, and healthcare-associated outbreaks may follow or parallel outbreaks in the community, which usually last from 6 to 8 weeks. Outbreaks are often characterized by abrupt onset and rapid transmission. Most reported outbreaks of influenza have occurred in long-term care facilities. However, outbreaks have also been reported on pediatric, medical, and geriatric wards, and in adult and neonatal intensive care units.

The most important reservoirs of the influenza virus are infected persons. Infection may be introduced into a healthcare facility by patients, personnel or visitors. The period of communicability is generally 3-7 days from clinical onset. Prolonged shedding may occur in immune compromised individuals. Transmission is by large droplet spread and by contact. The influenza virus can survive for several hours on environmental surfaces

Notifiable diseases on-line - List of nationally notifiable diseases

Notifiable Diseases Online presents information based on data from the Canadian Notifiable Disease Surveillance System (CNDSS). Nationally notifiable diseases are infectious diseases that have been identified by the federal government and provinces and territories as priorities for monitoring and control efforts. Through the CNDSS, provinces and territories voluntarily submit annual notifiable disease data, which are used to produce national disease counts and rates. The Notifiable disease charts can be used to explore trends in annual national counts and rates of reported cases of nationally notifiable diseases since 1924, where available. 

The list of nationally notifiable diseases has been revised periodically. A disease that has been taken off the list can be reintroduced later if its status in Canada changes. Though in early years the decision to place a disease on the list relied on expert opinion, since 1987 these decisions have been based on federal/provincial/territorial consensus using set criteria. The List of notifiable diseases provides the disease names and years in which they were considered notifiable.
