Description
Summary:Monitoring of volatile organic compounds (VOC) was initiated by Environment and Climate Change Canada at the Wood Buffalo Environmental Association (WBEA) Air Monitoring Station (AMS) 1 – Bertha Ganter, in Fort McKay, Alberta in October 2011. The VOC compounds that are currently being measured at AMS 1 are benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, m,p-xylenes, and o-xylene (BTEX). All of the validated VOC maximum hourly concentrations are below the hourly Alberta Ambient Air Quality Objectives (AAAQOs). The annual mean benzene concentrations are also below the annual AAAQO for benzene. : La surveillance des composés organiques volatils (COV) a été mise en œuvre par Environnement et Changement climatique Canada à la SSPA 1 de la WBEA – Bertha Ganter, à Fort McKay, en Alberta, en octobre 2011. Les COV actuellement mesurés à la SSPA 1 sont le benzène, le toluène, l’éthylbenzène, les m,p-xylènes et l’o-xylène (BTEX). L’ensemble des concentrations horaires maximales de COV est inférieur aux objectifs horaires de qualité de l’air ambiant de l’Alberta. Les concentrations moyennes annuelles de benzène sont également inférieures à l’objectif annuel de qualité de l’air ambiant de l’Alberta pour le benzène.
