Human Activity and the Environment (16-201-X) focuses on current environmental issues. The latest information and statistics are gathered from many sources to produce an in-depth analytical article.

Benzene, toluene,ethylbenzene, m-, p-xylenes and o-xylene (BTEX) are ubiquitous in residential settings. Chronic exposure to low BTEX concentrations may have health consequences. This study is based on data from the 2009 to 2011 Canadian Health Measures Survey, which produced nationally representative estimates of BTEX concentrations indoors.

This is a health fact sheet about bisphenol A concentrations in the Canadian population. Results shown are based on data from the Canadian Health Measures Survey.

This is a health fact sheet about blood lead concentrations in the Canadian population. Results shown are based on data from the Canadian Health Measures Survey.

Human Activity and the Environment: Detailed Statistics (16-201-S) is a collection of statistics focusing on human activities from an environmental perspective. Data are compiled from many sources including Statistics Canada, federal government departments, provincial governments and other sources. It is complimented by Human Activity and the Environment (16-201-X), which provides analysis on current environmental issues.

This is a Health fact sheet about exposure to second-hand smoke at home among Canadians. The results shown are based on data from the Canadian Community Health Survey.

This is a health fact sheet about bisphenol A concentrations in the Canadian population. Results shown are based on data from the Canadian Health Measures Survey.

This is a health fact sheet about lead concentrations in the Canadian population. Results shown are based on data from the Canadian Health Measures Survey.

This is a health fact sheet about mercury concentrations in the Canadian population. Results shown are based on data from the Canadian Health Measures Survey.

The effect of the environment on health is of increasing concern, in particular the effects of the release of industrial pollutants into the air, the ground and into water. An assessment of the risks to public health of any particular pollution source is often made using the routine health, demographic and environmental data collected by government agencies. These datasets have important differences in sampling geography and in sampling epochs which affect the epidemiological analyses which draw them together. In the UK, health events are recorded for individuals, giving cause codes, a data of diagnosis or death, and using the unit postcode as a geographical reference. In contrast, small area demographic data are recorded only at the decennial census, and released as area level data in areas distinct from postcode geography. Environmental exposure data may be available at yet another resolution, depending on the type of exposure and the source of the measurements.
