Air Inequality
What does air inequality mean?
Some people breathe cleaner air than others depending on where they live.
What does NAPS stand for
National Air Pollution Surveillance
What does NAPS measure in the air?
Pollutants like ozone and particulate matter.
Does NAPS directly reduce pollution?
No, it collects data but does not directly reduce pollution.

Name one group often affected more by air inequality.
Low-income communities or people near highways/industry.
When was NAPS created?
1969
Who runs NAPS in Canada?
Environment and Climate Change Canada.
How does NAPS help with climate change action?
It provides data that helps create environmental policies.
how many countries are there
195
How does air inequality affect different communities in Canada?
Some communities are exposed to higher levels of pollution than others
What is the main purpose of NAPS?
To monitor and track air pollution across Canada.
How often do monitoring stations collect data?
Continously (24/7)
How does NAPS data help reduce emissions indirectly?
It supports laws and regulations that limit pollution.

How does air inequality affect health?
It increases risks of asthma, lung disease, and other health problems.
What makes NAPS one of the most important air systems in Canada?
It provides long term nationwide air quality data.
What happens to data after it is collected at stations?
It is analyzed, stored, and shared with governments and scientists.
How does NAPS help identify high levels of pollution?
It compares data from different locations to find high pollution areas.
In an experiment, 10.0 moles of carbon dioxide (CO₂) are expected to be produced from a reaction. However, only 7.5 moles are actually produced. What is the percent yield of the reaction?
Percent yield = (actual yield ÷ theoretical yield) × 100
= (7.5 ÷ 10.0) × 100
= 75%
Explain the connection between location and air inequality.
Areas near highways, factories, or dense cities often have worse air quality than rural or wealthier areas.
Why was NAPS created in 1969, and what problem was it trying to solve?
It was created to monitor air pollution in Canada and track environmental health over time.
Explain the full process of how NAPS works from collection to action.
Stations measure pollutants then data is recorded then quality checked then analyzed then shared then used for policy decisions.
How does long-term NAPS data support climate change solutions better than short-term data?
It shows trends over time, allowing governments to see if emissions are increasing or decreasing.
