Canadian Medical Association publishes the financial costs of air pollution
The CMA predicts that this year alone, 21,000 Canadians will die from the effects of bad air, and smog will take an $8-billion bite out of the economy, according to a new report. The report, released this fall, puts a dollar figure on the health and economic costs of air pollution in Canada and has led to online programs that forecast health damages for each of the 10 provinces and for Canada as a whole. Check the costs of air pollution in your province here.
