The CEC’s Pollutant Release and Transfer Register project tracks and compares releases of toxic chemicals from facilities throughout North America.
This report is intended to serve as an information source for governments, industry and communities in analyzing such data from a North American perspective and for identifying opportunities for pollution reduction. The analyses are based on 1995–2002 data from the US Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) and the Canadian National Pollutant Release Inventory (NPRI).
This best available technologies (BAT) analysis guidance manual has been prepared for North American regulatory air quality specialists. The document provides a step-by-step explanation of the BAT analysis process used in the US and includes three case studies, for: 1) stationary reciprocating engines, 2) residual oil–fired power plants, and 3) cement kilns fired by used […]
The purpose of this paper is to introduce and provide context for the issues to be addressed at the North American Lindane Task Force meeting in Anchorage Alaska in February 2004. It is not intended to be a comprehensive review of the current state of the science nor debate.
This report represents a milestone in promoting cooperation in North America through the collection, exchange, and public dissemination of comparable environmental information by Canada, Mexico and the United States. The report presents, for the first time, specific air pollutant information from 2002 for individual fossil fuel–fired power plants across North America.
This paper expands on a paper written for the Commission on Environmental Cooperation in 2003, titled . That paper explored the important methodological issues related to estimating the net air impacts of new resources in electric power systems.
In 2002, the three North American pollution prevention round tables formed the North American Pollution Prevention Partnership (NAP3), in association with the Commission on Environmental Cooperation (CEC). The mission of the NAP3 is to collaborate on pollution prevention policy development, capacity building, stakeholder involvement and environmental leadership, through a unified and coordinated effort.
In 2004, an independent Ten-Year Review and Assessment Committee (TRAC) undertook an examination of the North American Agreement on Environmental Cooperation. TRAC produced a report that reviewed the implementation of the NAAEC and provided an assessment of the impacts of the various programs of the CEC.

This document was prepared for the CEC Secretariat by M.J. Bradley and Associates, Inc., under an activity in the CEC’s 2003 work plan to conduct a comparative study of the air quality standards, regulations, planning, and enforcement practices at the national, state/provincial, and local levels in the three North American countries, building on previous research […]
The Mexico National Emissions Inventory (NEI) is the result of significant efforts by many participants from Mexico, the United States, and Canada. The Western Governors’ Association (WGA) was the lead agency for this project. Mr. Richard Halvey was the WGA Project Manager.
