Bibliography

The National Guidelines and Standards Office publishes documents in a variety of different venues including peer-reviewed scientific journals, government serials, monographs, as stand-alone reports, under the auspices of the CCME, and most recently in our own series, Science-Based Solutions.

A comprehensive list of all publications from the National Guidelines and Standards Office is available as either an HTML or a PDF document. A selection of the most recent of these publications (from 2000 to present) are also listed below. Contact us to find out where you may obtain copies of any of these.
