Description:

Never before have Canadians been as concerned about clean air. Public health experts estimate that air pollution is responsible for 16,000 premature deaths in this country each year; at this rate, forty Canadians die from air pollution-related causes each and every day.

"Until quite recently, Canadians tended to take clean air for granted. Indeed, for many of us, clean air was something that set Canada, especially urban Canada, apart from the rest of an increasingly polluted world. But times have changed. Today, few Canadians are complacent about air quality. Air pollution has become a key environmental and health priority."
