Latterly, the World Health Organization (WHO) printed the results of an air pollution survey that concentrated on air quality in over 1,100 towns around the planet.
The survey is meant to provide underlying systematic data and findings for officials who may then tailor assorted laws and guidelines according to the discoveries. The most significant target of the WHO is to identify what effect air pollution has on peoples health and the way the disease burden can be alleviated.
The study measured the quantity of microscopic particles, so-called particulate matter, dissipated in the air. More particularly, the WHO measured the mass of particles smaller compared to 10 m and 2.5 m in a cubic metre. This is because of the fact that particles of different sizes have different health impacts.
According to the measurements conducted inside the last few years in 91 nations around the world, British Columbia has some of the lowest air pollution levels in the world. Even though the list of the towns with the cleanest air is lead by Whitehorse in Yukon, BC alone took five places in the Top 10 with Kitimat, Burns Lake, Nanaimo, Patio, and Nelson with pollution levels lower than 6.5 g/m3. This is great news to all British Columbians because such unpolluted air poses just about no health threat to residents.
In reality most Canadian towns have less than 20 g/m3 of particulate matter in the air, which is the WHO advised level. To put things into proportion, the most polluted Canadian city is Sarnia, Ontario, with 21.2 g/m3. On the other hand, the most polluted cities have as much 372 g/m3, which is the case of the Ahwaz, Iran. It seems the entirety of Mongolia has average pollution levels more than ten times higher than Sarnia.
Among the most outstanding factors influencing the amount of particles in the air are "according to the "Outdoor Air Pollution" WHO document "the standard of fuels employed in vehicles and power plants, weather (most significantly wind and overall air movement and exchange), and population size and density.
It really appears that house for sale in BC may be the right option, if you are attempting to find healthy environment!
