Development of a national nitrogen oxides (Nox) and volatile organic compounds (VOC) managment plan for Canada: Technical annex on, I: The state of the environment, II: The state of atmospheric chemistry, III: Transboundary flows

Technical Report · Sun Jan 01 00:00:00 EST 1989

OSTI ID:5608726

In October 1988, the federal and provincial environment ministers requested that a comprehensive national plan be developed to further manage nitrogen oxides (NOx) and volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions in Canada. This technical annex considers the state of the environment, including the effects of nitrogen-related compounds on the environment, existing environmental targets developed to protect human health and vegetation, and observed concentrations and deposition levels in Canada; describes the state of knowledge of atmospheric chemistry and implications for the control of ozone; and discusses the transboundary contribution to the NOx and VOC problem in Canada.
