Essay / Research Paper Abstract
A 9 page research paper that examines the current status of Canadian air quality. The writer argues that Canadians aren't nearly as 'green' as their reputation would imply. For example, Ontario has been designated as having the third worst air in North America for several years running. Examining some of the policies of the Canadian government, the writer finds that they are no longer environmentally friendly. Bibliography lists 10 sources.

their neighbors further south (Comeau, 1998). The "Taking Stock" report is published by the Commission for Environmental Cooperation, a Montreal-based environmental watchdog that was established in 1993 by Canada,
the US, and Mexico as part of the North American Trade Agreement. The latest edition of this report, which came out in 1998, revealed that some of the top polluters
in North America are based in Canada (Comeau, 1998). The main reaction of the Canadian government and industry officials in Canada was to deny the reports validity and to try
to suppress its publication (Comeau, 1998). Nevertheless, for two years running, Ontario has placed third, just behind Texas and Louisiana, in the annual ranking of North Americas worst polluting states
and provinces. In all likelihood, Nicol (1999) expects that Ontario will place second in the next ranking, which is due out in July. An examination of current environmental policies in
Canada concerning air quality will reveal that the principal actors who impact this area?those of industry, government and the citizenry?are basically in conflict, with areas of cooperation being few to
none. The problem: background on the problem of air pollution in Canada The association between variations in the quality of particulate mass in the air and fluctuations in morality
rates for heart and lung diseases in major cities has been well documented. In a study conducted by Burnett, et al (1999) associations were found between summer concentrations
of both fine and coarse particulate matter in Toronto and hospital admissions for heart and lung diseases. The urban ambient air pollutant mix of carbon monoxide and various forms of
sulfur dioxide appear to be the culprits responsible for an increase in mortality rates in several major Canadian cities. Researchers have found a particular strong link between carbon monoxide and
