About the App
The Pollution Reporter App provides users with information that connects polluters to pollution to health harms in Ontario’s Chemical Valley. It also helps report spills, leaks, flares and other pollution events by generating an email draft addressed to the Spills Action Center at the Ontario Ministry of Environment. The app does not interface directly with any government system; it simply provides a convenient way to compose and send your report using your own email service.
Community and Research
Developed by the Indigenous-led Environmental Data Justice Lab at the Technoscience Research Unit at the University of Toronto, this app is built using community-based research methods. It is designed primarily for Aamjiwnaang First Nation community members and residents of Chemical Valley, as well as anyone interested in environmental issues in the area.
Features
• Report Pollution: Generate an email draft to report local pollution incidents in Ontario’s Chemical Valley.
• Educational Content: Learn about polluters, the chemicals they release, and the associated health risks (based on peer-reviewed academic research).
• Data Transparency: Access and explore data sourced from the NPRI, an open government dataset maintained by the ECCC under the Open Government Licence – Canada.
