Ecosystem Sites, Speciated Mercury, Preliminary Data, Oil Sands Region

Measurements of gaseous elemental mercury (GEM), gaseous oxidized mercury (GOM) and particulate bound mercury on PM2.5 (referred to as PBM) are currently collected by Environment and Climate Change Canada at a Wood Buffalo Environmental Association (WBEA) Air Monitoring Station (AMS).  Preliminary, three-hour averaged speciated mercury data from the oil sands region are available for WBEA AMS 13 – Fort McKay South, located near Fort McKay, Alberta.

There are no Environment and Climate Change Canada or Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment (CCME) air quality guidelines, nor Alberta Ambient Air Quality Objectives for speciated Hg measurements.  The monitoring follows the established Canadian Air and Precipitation Monitoring Network (CAPMoN) standard operating procedures.

These data are preliminary and of unspecified quality. They are subject to significant change, can occasionally include maintenance data, and should not be used in published documents. Please do not use or distribute these files without the associated metadata. It is recommended that people wishing to use these data first consult with the Principal Investigator to better understand potential limitations.

Ground-Level Ozone 

Ground level ozone measurements, sometimes referred to as in situ measurements are those measurements that occur close to the ground, i.e. within the boundary layer which is approximately 1 kilometre in height.  Ongoing network measurements from the Canadian Air and Precipitation Monitoring Network (CAPMoN) and studies such as those from Alert, NU and Mount Sutton, QC are also included within the published data sets.  In CAPMoN, measurements are made every minute and averaged at five minute intervals. Every 30 days a remote calibration is performed using an on-site secondary reference traceable to a primary standard (a Canadian standard referenced to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), at Gaithersburg, Maryland, USA) and all measurements are corrected back to the primary standard.

Non-Methane Hydrocarbons (NMHC)

The Non-Methane Hydrocarbons (NMHC) Measurements Study was a continuous measurement program carried out at the Centre for Atmospheric Research Experiments (CARE) at Egbert, ON. Approximately 30 C2 to C8 hydrocarbons (in gaseous form) were collected and analyzed every three hours by an automated, in-situ gas chromatograph system. The measured compounds included C2 to C6 alkanes, alkene, alkynes, and the C6 to C8 light aromatic species (BTEX). 

Data were collected continuously from March, 2001 to February 2011.

Ecosystem Sites, Speciated Mercury, Validated Data, Oil Sands Region

Measurements of gaseous elemental mercury (GEM), gaseous oxidized mercury (GOM) and particulate bound mercury on PM2.5 (referred to as PBM2.5) were collected by Environment and Climate Change Canada from August to September 2013 at the Wood Buffalo Environmental Association (WBEA) Air Monitoring Station (AMS) 13 – Fort McKay South, and at WBEA AMS 4 – Buffalo Viewpoint.

Monitoring resumed at WBEA AMS 13 in September 2014 with two speciated mercury instruments and is ongoing. One speciated mercury instrument monitors GEM, GOM, and PBM2.5; the second speciated mercury instrument monitors GEM, GOM, and mercury on PM10 (referred to as PBM10). 

These data are the first atmospheric speciated mercury measurements to be reported in the oil sands region. Speciated mercury concentrations reported are comparable to those measured at sites across Canada (Cole et al., Atmosphere, 2014, 5(3), 635-668). Longer-term speciated mercury measurements will provide information on how mercury is cycling in the local ecosystem. There are no Environment and Climate Change Canada or Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment (CCME) air quality guidelines, nor Alberta Ambient Air Quality Objectives for speciated Hg measurements.

Speciated Mercury

Ambient concentrations of speciated mercury (Hg) have been measured at many locations across Canada. Mercury in the atmosphere is measured in three operationally-defined forms - gaseous elemental mercury (GEM), reactive gaseous mercury (RGM), and particulate-bound mercury (PBM). Under most conditions, GEM (or Hg0) is the predominant species in the air (~95-99%), while RGM and PBM concentrations are typically two orders of magnitude lower, i.e., <5% of the total atmospheric mercury concentration. Reactive gaseous mercury is thought to consist of compounds such as HgCl2, HgBr2, Hg(OH)2 although the exact composition is unknown.  Mercury speciation measurements were initiated in 2002 at two locations, Alert, Nunavut and Flin Flon, Manitoba.

Bird Conservation Regions Data in Canada

The purpose of Bird Conservation Regions strategies is to summarize the important issues and to recommend the actions required to conserve populations of birds in Canada. The Bird Conservation Regions (BCR) used as the basis for our planning units are based on the Commission for Environmental Cooperation’s internationally-accepted Level III ecoregions. We have adopted Marine Biogeographic Units as the planning units for marine birds. The data presented here have three main functions: to provide a consistent national approach to planning for bird conservation in Canada; to streamline the planning process; and to provide sufficient guidance to allow the development of detailed implementation plans and to support on-the-ground conservation efforts. The purpose of this data is to provide a basis for public synthesis documents that focus on issues and actions. Please note that the data contained herein have been gathered on a period ranging from 2008 to 2014 and should be considered in the context of recent information. The three datasets cover: priority bird species assessment; priority bird species population objectives; and priority bird species threats, conservation objectives and conservation actions. The data included here informed the 25 BCR strategies published by the Canadian Wildlife Service of Environment and Climate Change Canada. They are available at www.ec.gc.ca/mbc-com/default.asp?lang=En&n=1D15657A-1.
