Canadian environmental sustainability indicators : international comparison : air pollutant emissions in selected countries.: En4-144/58-2023E-PDF
"Air pollution problems, such as smog and acid rain, result from the release of pollutants into the atmosphere. The majority of these pollutants are released through human activities, such as transportation, the burning of fuels for electricity and heating, and a variety of industrial activities. Air pollution can affect human health, the environment, buildings, structures, and the economy. These indicators compare Canada's emissions of 5 key air pollutants with those of top emitting member countries of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), both in terms of total quantity and emissions intensity (the ratio of emissions to gross domestic product)"--Page 5.
