摘要

Collecting and analyzing ambient air monitoring data is valuable for understanding the state of air quality and addressing perceptions and concerns about it relates to health impacts. Analysis of trends provides an indication of whether air quality is changing for better or worse. This paper provides results of trend analysis of ambient air data at two Alberta monitoring stations: 1) in Edmonton - a major city in central Alberta with a regional population of about 1,000,000, and 2) in Fort McKay - a small community of 400 people situated among expanding oil sand extraction and production facilities in northern Alberta. Using an assumption that ambient air concentrations display a trend with time, two non-parametric methods were used - the Mann-Kendall test and Sen's test. Historical data for a number of air pollutants were examined over an eight-year period at the two monitoring stations. Pollutant concentrations and hourly exceedance frequencies corresponding to cumulative frequency values of the 50% (median), 65%, 80%, 90% and 95% percentiles for each year were examined in the analysis. Statistically significant decreasing trends were observed for SO2, CO, and PM_2.5 at Edmonton (α=0.10, α=0.05, or α=0.01), while no trends were observed for NO2, O3, and total hydrocarbons (THCs) (α=0.10) for the eight-year period 1997 to 2004. No statistically significant trends were observed for SO2, NO2, O3, PM_2.5, and THCs at Fort McKay (α=0.10) for the six-year period 1999 to 2004. The period of study over which trends were examined was short - less than a decade. Changes or lack of changes observed in air quality do not necessarily provide an indication of what may happen over the long-term. However results generally support that, despite increasing economic and other development activity in Edmonton and continuous oil sands development surrounding the community of Fort McKay, air quality remains unchanged during the last six to eight years.
