Pulp and paper effluent quality

The Canadian Environmental Sustainability Indicators (CESI) program provides data and information to track Canada's performance on key environmental sustainability issues. The Pulp and paper effluent quality indicator reports the percentage of acute lethality, biochemical oxygen demand and total suspended solid tests that are within the regulatory limits for selected years between 1985 and 2020. The purpose of the Pulp and Paper Effluent Regulations is to manage threats to fish, fish habitat, and human health from fish consumption by limiting the deposit of deleterious substances from pulp and paper mills into water frequented by fish. Ensuring that pulp and paper mill operators meet environmental protection standards helps to protect our aquatic environment for future generations. Information is provided to Canadians in a number of formats including: static and interactive maps, charts and graphs, HTML and CSV data tables and downloadable reports. See the supplementary documentation for the data sources and details on how the data were collected and how the indicator was calculated.
