On this website we will try to bring to your attention the seriousness of breathing clean unpolluted air and your responsibility to help maintain a clean healthy environment for your family and yourself.

Air pollution is a significant environmental health problem. In Canada alone, it is responsible for causing thousands of deaths, millions of cases of illness, billions of dollars in health care expenses, and tens of billions of dollars in lost productivity every year.

In the report, 'The Air We Breathe', the David Suzuki Foundation found that Canada provides weaker protection for human health from air pollution than the USA, Australia, or the European Union. Significantly, Canada is the only nation to rely on voluntary national guidelines, which provide a far weaker approach to controlling air pollution than the enforceable standards in place elsewhere.

The report also includes five key recommendations for improving the health and well-being of Canadians and reducing the negative health impact of air pollution.
