Changing Atmospheric Chemistry, Transport, and Emissions (ACTE): The Future of Air Quality in Canada
EF 2024-25
Résumé
This project will bring together two partners, Quebec's Ministère de l'Environnement, de la lutte contre les changements climatiques, de la Faune et des Parcs (MELCCFP) and Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC), with a team of university researchers to study current and future air pollution levels in Québec and Ontario. The overarching goal is to develop scientific knowledge about emissions and air pollution and to use this knowledge to predict future air quality (AQ) under various scenarios that consider both changing climate and changing emissions. Such information is crucial to orient government regulations and policies with the goal of reducing the environmental, societal and health impacts of air pollution and climate change. Scientific and policy-making communities critically need quantitative knowledge and precise predictive tools to understand how factors such as changing energy sources, new transportation technologies, urban greening, warmer temperatures, and altered precipitation patterns will impact future AQ in communities.
