On Thursday May 5, 2005 at approximately 15:50, an uncontrolled fire began during waste handling activities at Custom Environmental Services Limited (CES); Alberta Environment was requested to provide air monitoring support. The Mobile Air Monitoring Laboratory (MAML) was deployed to southeast Edmonton immediately after Alberta Environment received notification that there was a fire at the CES facility; monitoring began at 16:29.

On Monday, March 14, 2005 at approximately 9:45am, a release occurred from a ruptured storage vessel at the Shell Chemicals Scotford site, northeast of Edmonton. The release consisted of a mixture of styrene and ethylbenzene, which escaped from a storage tank and resulted in a vapour release that moved offsite3. Alberta Environment’s mobile lab was deployed to the Scotford site and arrived shortly after 12:00pm; monitoring began at 12:25pm. The MAML was not designed or equipped for emergency response monitoring, however, it can be used in a limited capacity to provide such support during upset conditions.

Alberta Environment commissioned Dr. John Neil Cape from the Centre for Ecology and Hydrology at the Edinburgh Research Station in the United Kingdom (UK) to conduct a review of current air and deposition monitoring in Alberta and provided recommendations for future network development. The review was conducted to support the development of a new Air Monitoring Strategic Plan for Alberta, and considered factors such as existing air monitoring in Alberta and future air emission scenarios.

Alberta Environmental Protection continuously monitors air quality in Edmonton (3 stations), Calgary (3 stations), Fort Saskatchewan and Fort MacKay. Air quality parameters monitored at Alberta Environmental Protection stations include carbon monoxide, dust and smoke (the coefficient of haze), oxides of nitrogen, ozone, total hydrocarbons, hydrogen sulphide, sulphur dioxide, carbon dioxide, ammonia and particulates (PM10 and PM2.5). The Index of the Quality of the Air (IQUA) is calculated at the Edmonton, Calgary and Fort Saskatchewan stations. The IQUA converts air parameter concentrations into Good, Fair, Poor and Very Poor air quality ratings.
