Ontario's new on-line emissions reporting registry, OnAIR, will make polluters more accountable by providing regular information about what emissions are being put into the air and by whom, says Environment and Energy Minister Chris Stockwell.
The OnAIR site can be accessed at www.ene.gov.on.ca
Ontario is the first jurisdiction in the world to require monitoring and public reporting on a full range of greenhouse gases linked to climate change.
This information will help Ontario set future air quality targets and track progress in the fight against smog, acid rain and climate change.
"Everyone has the right to know about pollution from industries and other facilities in their area," said Stockwell. "
"A website that provides emissions reports on a quarterly, annual and smog-season basis is an important step," said Rick Findlay, director, Ottawa Office, Pollution Probe.
