- 2. Canadian Food Environment Dataset: A New Pan-Canadian Dataset of Retail Food Environment MeasuresArticles and reports: 13-20-0001Description:

Release date: 2022-12-09 - 3. Ethnocultural and socioeconomic disparities in exposure to residential greenness within urban CanadaArticles and reports: 82-003-X202100500001Description:
Residential greenness has been associated with benefits to health, such as lower risk of mortality, cardiovascular disease, obesity, adverse birth outcomes, asthma and better psychological health. However, the variation in greenness across socioeconomic and demographic characteristics in urban areas of Canada has not been well documented. Authors of a study focused upon respondents to the 2001 Canadian Census reported that more affluent and more highly educated adults living in the 30 largest Census metropolitan areas of Canada had greater exposures to residential greenness than those who were less affluent and less well-educated. This study builds on that work by using data from the more recent, 2016 Census; including respondents of all ages; and by considering differences in exposures according not only to age, education, and income, but also according to immigration status, time since immigration, self-reported ethnicity, and neighbourhood deprivation indices.
Release date: 2021-05-19 - 4. Exposure to tobacco smoke among Canadian nonsmokers based on questionnaire and biomonitoring dataArticles and reports: 82-003-X202100200002Description:
Surveillance by questionnaire and biomonitoring both have their own advantages and are fundamental in identifying the subpopulations most susceptible to second hand smoke exposure. Using a biomarker provides a quantitative estimate of relative exposure that can be compared over time and with other studies, and this is of particular interest for effective public health interventions.
Release date: 2021-02-17 - Articles and reports: 82-003-X202000700001Description: The present study examined the spatial associations between air pollutants (fine particulate matter [PM2.5], nitrogen dioxide [NO2] and ground-level ozone [O3]) and psychological distress among subjects in the most populous provinces in Canada.Release date: 2020-07-29

This article provides a description of the Canadian Census Health and Environment Cohorts (CanCHECs), a population-based linked datasets of the household population at the time of census collection. The CanCHEC datasets are rich national data resources that can be used to measure and examine health inequalities across socioeconomic and ethnocultural dimensions for different periods and locations. These datasets can also be used to examine the effects of exposure to environmental factors on human health.
Release date: 2019-12-18 - 7. Canadians vulnerable to workplace noise ArchivedArticles and reports: 82-003-X201800800002Description:
Using data from cycles 3 (2012 to 2013) and 4 (2014 to 2015) of the Canadian Health Measures Survey, this study describes Canadians aged 19 to 79 who, when working in noisy environments, were not required to wear hearing protection and only did so sometimes, rarely or never. Characteristics of these workers are examined, as well as sources of noise, years worked in noisy environments, and adverse outcomes-specifically, self-reported hearing difficulties and tinnitus.
Release date: 2018-08-15 - Articles and reports: 11-633-X2018013Description:
Since 2008, a number of population censuses have been linked to administrative health data and to financial data. These linked datasets have been instrumental in examining health inequalities and have been used in environmental health research. This paper describes the creation of the 1996 Canadian Census Health and Environment Cohort (CanCHEC)—3.57 million respondents to the census long-form questionnaire who were retrospectively followed for mortality and mobility for 16.6 years from 1996 to 2012. The 1996 CanCHEC was limited to census respondents who were aged 19 or older on Census Day (May 14, 1996), were residents of Canada, were not residents of institutions, and had filed an income tax return. These respondents were linked to death records from the Canadian Mortality Database or to the T1 Personal Master File, and to a postal code history from a variety of sources. This is the third in a set of CanCHECs that, when combined, make it possible to examine mortality trends and environmental exposures by socioeconomic characteristics over three census cycles and 21 years of census, tax, and mortality data. This report describes linkage methodologies, validation and bias assessment, and the characteristics of the 1996 CanCHEC. Representativeness of the 1996 CanCHEC relative to the adult population of Canada is also assessed.
Release date: 2018-01-22 - Articles and reports: 82-003-X201700514790Description:
The present study sought to determine if large-scale patterns of association between ambient ultraviolet radiation (UVR) and melanoma incidence exist in Canada. Modelled UVR data were spatially linked to members of the 1991 Canadian Census Health and Environment Cohort, a dataset comprising 2.6 million census respondents who were followed for melanoma diagnosis over an 18-year period.

- Articles and reports: 82-003-X200600710198Geography: CanadaDescription:
This article looks at the prevalence of smoking, household smoking bans, and non-smokers' exposure to second-hand smoke. The data are from the 2000/2001, 2003 and 2005 Canadian Community Health Survey.
Release date: 2007-07-10 - Articles and reports: 82-621-X20060029226Geography: Province or territoryDescription:
This article examines smoking trends from 2000/01 to 2005 for the population aged 12 or older, using data from the Canadian Community Health Survey. Smoking prevalence is compared by age, sex and province. Proportions of the population living in households where smoking is totally banned are presented, as well as percentages of the employed population who face smoking bans at work. Exposure rates to second-hand smoke among non-smokers are examined. The article also presents estimates of these characteristics at the health region level.
Release date: 2006-06-13 - 23. Second-hand smoke exposure: Who's at risk? ArchivedArticles and reports: 82-003-X20040017037Geography: CanadaDescription:
This Health Reports article uses data from the 2003 Canadian Community Health Survey to examine who is most commonly exposed to second-hand smoke, by age, sex, province and health region.
Exposure is examined by setting, that is, in public places, at work, at home, in private vehicles, and is given in the context of smoking prevalence.
Release date: 2004-10-19 - 24. Air quality in Canada ArchivedArticles and reports: 16-201-X20020006407Geography: CanadaDescription:
For millennia, changes in the earth's atmosphere were the result of natural forces. Over the past century, however, these changes have escalated as a result of human activities-mainly unprecedented growth in global population and consumption of natural resources to increase industrial production-that degrade and destroy the forests and other vital ecosystems essential to atmospheric processes. Such human activities produce large quantities of substances that are released in the air, where over time they can overload natural processes and eventually reach harmful levels. The result is poor air quality in urban and rural areas around the world.
This article addresses the following questions: What is the condition of our outdoor and indoor air? What effects does air quality have on our health and our environment? And what are governments and businesses doing to address air quality concerns?
