CANADIAN ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION ACT, 1999

Science Assessment Document for Ground-level Ozone

The Departments of Health and of the Environment announce the availability of a report by the Federal-Provincial Working Group on Air Quality Objectives and Guidelines developed in accordance with the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999, Part 3, sections 54 and 55. This document, entitled Science Assessment Document (SAD) for Ground-level Ozone was prepared as the scientific basis to support the development of a National Ambient Air Quality Objective (NAAQO) for ground-level Ozone.

However, the development of a NAAQO for Ground-level Ozone is not recommended at this time since a Canada-wide Standard for Ground-level Ozone, has been developed under the Canada-wide Harmonization Accord. The Harmonization Accord was signed by the Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment (CCME) in January 1998. The Canada-wide Standard (CWS) for Ground-level Ozone has been endorsed by the Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment in June 2000. In keeping with the principles of openness and transparency, stakeholder comments were solicited on the SAD in the spring of 1999. Stakeholders have also been engaged in the development of the Canada-wide Standard for Ground-level Ozone.

The Science Assessment Document for Ground-level Ozone can be downloaded off the Internet from the following Web address: http://hc-sc.gc.ca/ehp/ehd/catalogue/bch_pubs/ozone.htm. Paper copies are available from Environment Canada, Inquiries Centre (1-800-668-6767).
