Outdoor Air
Evidence gathered over the last ten years has increased Health
Canada's concerns about the health effects of air pollutants. Although
some hazardous contaminants in the air, such as lead, have declined
recently, others that remain are becoming problematic. As the human
health effects of poor air quality are far reaching, Health Canada
has a multi-pronged approach to improving outdoor air.
