Poster Showing Canada's Pollution Hotspots Released CANADIAN INSTITUTE FOR ENVIRONMENTAL LAW AND POLICY CIELAP Releases Poster Showing Pollution Hotspots in Canada The Canadian Institute for Environmental Law and Policy (CIELAP) has released a poster showing pollution hotspots throughout Canada. The maps and tables on the NPRI 1998 poster provide a summary of data from the National Pollutant Release Inventory 1998. The poster is designed to familiarize the general public with the NPRI and to provide a useful teaching tool for Canadian and World Studies. We are offering free copies ($5 shipping and handling fee) of the poster to school boards, environmental organizations and researchers. |
Using data from the 1998 National Pollutant Release Inventory (NPRI), the poster presents the top on-site releases and off-site transfers of pollutants by facilities across Canada. The poster also shows a summary of releases, transfers and recycling of pollutants by province. CIELAP, an independent, not for profit, environmental law and policy research organization is trying to raise public awareness of the NPRI database and the fate of pollutants from facilities.
