"Note: n/a = not available, it indicates that the province or territory has no reported releases. Totals may not add up due to rounding. The indicator reports facility-based releases only. The indicator includes the amount of elemental arsenic and arsenic in any compound, alloy or mixture reported in the National Pollutant Release Inventory based on the inventory reporting criteria. As a result, the reported arsenic releases to water represent only a portion of the releases of this toxic pollutant to water in Canada. Some reported releases from Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, Saskatchewan, the Northwest Territories and Nunavut are too small to see in the figure. To access individual provincial data for all years please refer to the indicator’s interactive figures or, for the full dataset, to the National Pollutant Release Inventory (https://open.canada.ca/data/en/dataset/40e01423-7728-429c-ac9d-2954385ccdfb).",,,
