Continuous emission monitoring

Go to the Continuous Emission Monitoring Online Reporting website Mandatory reporting of continuous emission monitoring data came into being in Alberta with the release in April 2007 of Part I of the 2006 Amendments to the Air Monitoring Directive, 1989.

The Continuous Emissions Monitoring (CEMS) Code establishes requirements for the installation, operation, maintenance, and certification of continuous emission monitoring systems. These requirements will ensure effective measurement, recording, and standardized reporting of specified emissions and other parameters. In addition, the code establishes requirements for alternative monitoring systems and for the quality assurance and quality control of continuous emission monitoring data.

Monitoring operators can now submit required monitoring information electronically.
