    Articles and reports: 82-003-X201300511792
    Geography: Canada
    Description:

    This article describes implementation of the indoor air component of the 2009 to 2011 Canadian Health Measures Survey and presents information about response rates and results of field quality control samples.

  • 2. Predictors of indoor BTEX concentrations in Canadian residences Archived
    Articles and reports: 82-003-X201300511793
    Geography: Canada
    Description:

    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.

  • 4. Lead, mercury and cadmium levels in Canadians Archived
    Articles and reports: 82-003-X200800410717
    Geography: Canada
    Description:

    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.

  • 5. Smoking: prevalence, bans and exposure to second-hand smoke Archived
    Articles and reports: 82-003-X200600710198
    Geography: Canada
    Description:

    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
  • 6. Second-hand smoke exposure: Who's at risk? Archived
    Articles and reports: 82-003-X20040017037
    Geography: Canada
    Description:

    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
  • 7. Air quality in Canada Archived
    Articles and reports: 16-201-X20020006407
    Geography: Canada
    Description:

    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?
