Ten-year data tables by province, industry and substance – releases

The National Pollutant Release Inventory (NPRI) is Canada's public inventory of pollutant releases (to air, water and land), disposals and transfers for recycling.

Each file contains annual total releases for the past ten years by media (air, water or land), broken-down by province, industry or substance. Files are in .CSV format.

The results can be further broken down using the pre-defined search available at the bottom of the NPRI Data Search webpage. The results returned by the NPRI search engine may differ from the numbers contained in the downloadable files. The online search engine’s results will display releases, disposals and transfers reported by facilities, but does not distinguish between media type (i.e. air, water, land). It also displays facilities reporting only under Ontario Regulation 127/01 and facilities submitting “did not meet criteria” reports.
