An Examination of the Relationship between Air Quality and Income in Canada

Abstract: The environmental Kuznets curve hypothesis suggests that at high income levels, economic growth is accompanied by decreasing concentrations of air pollutants. We examine the relationship between four common air pollutants and income across Canadian provinces and metropolitan areas. Our study improves upon past studies of the relationship in Canada in two ways. First, our use of panel methods and pollution concentration data from individual monitoring stations allows for a much larger sample size than previous … Show more

“…However, emission-based assessments do not take into account the strong nonlinear ozone chemistry [25,26]-with NMVOC emissions fixed, increasing NO x emissions enhances ozone formation in the NO x -limited chemical regime but decreases ozone in the NO x -saturated regime [27]. Other studies have linked regional affluence level to its ambient ozone pollution [28][29][30], with an implicit assumption that ozone is fully derived from local precursor emissions. These studies do not isolate the impacts of transboundary ozone originating outside that region's territory.…”
