Dear John,

As Earth Day approaches, Canadians should know that they breathe some of the cleanest air on Earth.

According to a new study published by the Fraser Institute, for overall air quality, Canada ranked 8th best out of 31 countries in the OECD (Iceland had the best overall air quality while Italy had the worst).

For exposure to fine particulate matter — a form of pollution created by multiple sources including motor vehicles, oil and gas extraction, heating systems and forest fires — Canada ranked first (that is, best) in the OECD, tied with 16 other countries.

And Canada ranked 9th best for the share of people exposed to air pollution levels that meet the World Health Organization’s guideline.

Before policymakers add yet more regulations and costs to Canadians in the quest for cleaner air, they should understand the reality of air quality in Canada.
