Release date: 2014-03-19 - 2. Settlements in Canada ArchivedArticles and reports: 16-002-X201100211504Geography: CanadaDescription:
By studying the size and form of settlements over time it is possible to better examine their impact on the physical environment, such as consumption of land and pollution emissions. This article focuses on the characteristics of settlements in terms of land area and population, and the changes that have taken place between 2001 and 2006.
Release date: 2011-06-22 - Articles and reports: 16-002-X200900210890Geography: CanadaDescription:

This article presents information on nitrogen and phosphorus generated through manure production and maps the intensity of nitrogen and phosphorus production by sub-sub-drainage area.
Release date: 2009-03-26 - 5. Lead, mercury and cadmium levels in Canadians ArchivedArticles and reports: 82-003-X200800410717Geography: CanadaDescription:
This article presents preliminary data on blood levels of lead, total mercury, and cadmium in Canadians from the first 8 collection sites of the Canadian Health Measures Survey.
Release date: 2008-11-19 - 6. A demand perspective on greenhouse gas emissions ArchivedArticles and reports: 16-002-X200700210335Geography: CanadaDescription:
This article provides an analysis of greenhouse gas emissions from a demand perspective. The analysis is based on the greenhouse gas emissions accounts and input-output accounts produced at Statistics Canada. It shows that domestic requirements for goods and services led to 54% of Canadian industrial emissions, while production to satisfy exports accounted for the remaining 46%. Between 1990 and 2002, emissions associated with domestic demand grew slowly at 0.4% while those associated with the production of goods for export grew by 50%.
Release date: 2007-09-26 - Articles and reports: 21-004-X20050037842Geography: CanadaDescription:
For the purposes of this study, eight environmental management systems (EMSs) were considered: whole farm environmental plan; manure management plan; fertilizer management plan; pesticide management plan; water management plan; wildlife conservation plan; grazing management plan, and nutrient management plan.
The information on the use of farm environmental plans was obtained from the Farm Environmental Management Survey (FEMS) conducted in 2001 by Statistics Canada and sponsored in part by Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada.
Release date: 2005-05-25 - 8. Sport Utility Vehicles: Driving Change ArchivedArticles and reports: 11-621-M2005020Geography: CanadaDescription:
This study examines production and sales trends in automotive and light duty vehicle manufacturing in Canada and the United States from 1999 to 2004. It focuses on production and sales of sport utility vehicles.
Release date: 2005-02-16 - 9. Fertilizer and Pesticide Management in Canada ArchivedArticles and reports: 21-021-M2004002Geography: CanadaDescription:
This article describes the practices used to manage chemical fertilizers and pesticides on Canadian farms. The analysis in this article is based on results from the 2001 Farm Environmental Management Survey.
Release date: 2004-09-08 - Articles and reports: 21-004-X20030096514Geography: CanadaDescription:
Over the last few years, the rapid expansion of large livestock operations has fuelled heated debates in many rural communities across Canada. Proposals for new hog operations, among others, have encountered vocal opposition from neighbours and residents in the community. Promoters defended the economic value of their project claiming that good farming practices and improved technology minimizes the potential risk of nuisance and pollution. However, opponents raised concerns about the reduction of their quality of life in association with large livestock operations, especially hog farms. They fear being driven out of their homes by strong odours or worry about accidental contamination of ground water in surrounding areas, as in Walkerton, Ontario. Still others are upset by prospects of added truck traffic, dust and noise resulting from feed and livestock transportation.
