"Note: n/a = not applicable. The national average O3 concentration indicator is based on the annual average of the daily maximum 8-hour average concentrations recorded at 169 monitoring stations across Canada. No comparison with CAAQS is shown as there is no comparable O3 standard. A statistically significant trend is reported when the Mann-Kendall test indicates the presence of a trend at the 95 % confidence level.
