The Chemicals Management Plan (CMP) is a Government of Canada initiative aimed at reducing the risks posed by chemicals to Canadians and their environment. A key element of the Chemicals Management Plan is the monitoring and surveillance of levels of harmful chemicals in Canadians and their environment. Monitoring and surveillance are essential to identify and track exposure to hazards in the environment and associated health implications. Monitoring and surveillance programs provide the basis for making sound and effective public health and environmental health policies and interventions, as well as measuring the efficacy of control measures. 


In support of the Chemicals Management Plan, monitoring and surveillance initiatives were established to support Health Canada and Environment and Climate Change Canada scientists, in collaboration with external partners and researchers, to advance our knowledge. This initiative has allowed the Government of Canada to increase its commitment to a number of existing monitoring initiatives, as well as to support new efforts.

Criteria air contaminants (CACs):

- Total particulate matter (TPM)

- Particulate matter less than or equal to 10 microns (PM10)

- Particulate matter less than or equal to 2.5 microns (PM2.5)

- Sulphur oxides (SOx)

- Nitrogen oxides (NOx)

- Volatile organic compounds (VOCs)

- Carbon monoxide (CO)

- Ammonia (NH3)


Heavy metals:

- Mercury (Hg)

- Lead (Pb)

- Cadmium (Cd)


Persistent organic pollutants (POPs):

- Dioxins and furans (D/F)

- Four polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) compounds (Benzo(a)pyrene, Benzo(b)fluoranthene, Benzo(k)fluoranthene and Indeno(1,2,3-cd)pyrene)

- Hexachlorobenzene (HCB)


This data record breaks down the historical trends of reported pollutants by individual substances. To perform more customized selections of APEI data, please visit our website to use our interactive query tool.


The Air Pollutant Emission Inventory is compiled from many different data sources. Emissions data reported by individual facilities to Environment and Climate Change Canada’s National Pollutant Release Inventory are supplemented with well documented, science-based estimation tools to quantify total emissions.

Canada’s Black Carbon Inventory

Black carbon is a short-lived, small aerosol (or airborne) particle linked to both climate warming and adverse health effects. It is emitted from incomplete combustion of carbon-based fuels (i.e., fossil fuels, biofuels, wood) in the form of very fine particulate matter. Black carbon is not emitted on its own, but as a component of particulate matter less than or equal to 2.5 micrometres in diameter (PM2.5). 


As a member of the Arctic Council, Canada has committed to producing an annual inventory of black carbon emissions. This data will serve to inform Canadians about black carbon emissions and provide valuable information for the development of air quality management strategies.


The data used to compile the report originate from sections of the Air Pollutant Emission Inventory (APEI) specifically fine particulate matter (PM2.5) emissions from combustion-related sources.

Algorithmic Impact Assessment - Claim Summary Tool (CST)

Detailed results from the Algorithmic Impact Assessment (AIA) for Veterans Affairs Canada's Claim Summary Tool (CST).

The Claim Summary Tool (CST) is an artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled tool used by Veterans Affairs Canada (VAC) to support the review of Disability Benefit applications and get decisions to Veterans sooner. 

For many Veterans, applications involve large volumes of medical records and service documents. The CST helps organize this information by producing a structured summary with links to original source documents that highlights key details so decision makers can review applications and supporting documentation more efficiently and consistently. This helps VAC reduce processing time and supports timely decisions for Veterans. 

The CST does not make decisions, determine eligibility, or replace human judgement. VAC employees always review the information and make the final decision on every application. 

The CST operates only within VAC’s secure systems. The tool does not learn from, store, reuse, or send personal information outside Canada and is managed with strong privacy, security, compliance, and quality controls to protect Veterans’ information at all times. The CST follows all Government of Canada requirements for the responsible use of AI. This includes transparency, human oversight, privacy protection, and ongoing monitoring to ensure the tool continues to work accurately and as intended.
