Air quality
Air quality in the Industrial Heartland and surrounding area is monitored by the Fort Air Partnership (FAP). FAP is a not-for-profit organization formed in 1997 to monitor the air within a 4,500-square-kilometre airshed located immediately north and east of Edmonton. The FAP area includes the city of Fort Saskatchewan, the towns of Gibbons, Bon Accord, Bruderheim, Lamont, Redwater, Waskatenau, portions of the counties of Sturgeon, Westlock, Thorhild, Lamont and Strathcona, and Elk Island National Park. Alberta’s Industrial Heartland is located within FAP’s borders. FAP collects and reports on air quality data in a region encompassing one of the most concentrated industrial development areas in Alberta.
FAP’s work is open and transparent, governed by a multi-stakeholder Board of Directors, guided by a scientific Technical Working Group and driven by national and provincial standards. Continuous data is collected and made available to anyone. FAP has 10 continuous air monitoring stations in and around Alberta’s Industrial Heartland.[14]
