Canadian environmental sustainability indicators : emissions of harmful substances to air.: En4-144/82-2023E-PDF
"Emissions of some substances can harm human health, wildlife and biological diversity. For example, small particles of toxic metals can travel long distances in the air, be inhaled, or settle on the ground and in water. There, they can enter the food web and build up in the tissues of living organisms. Exposure to these substances, even in small amounts, can be hazardous to both humans and wildlife. Mercury and its compounds, lead, and inorganic cadmium compounds are listed as toxic substances under the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999. The Emission of harmful substances to air indicator reports mercury, lead and cadmium emissions from human-related activities"--Page 5.
