The main objectives of the project are to compile and disseminate information on the amounts, sources, and management of toxic contaminants from industrial activities in North America; and to promote the use of this information for the development of sound initiatives resulting in the reduction of industrial releases and transfers of pollutants of concern across the region.
In addition to publishing Taking Stock and making enhancements to the accessibility and analytical quality of information presented via the CEC’s Taking Stock Online, the CEC will continue to work with officials of Canada, Mexico and the United States to improve data collection, comparability, and quality across the PRTR systems in North America. The year 2008 will mark the second year of trilateral analysis of pollutant release and transfer data from each of our three countries.
