## Method

Every row is a published pm2.5 — annual mean observation measured in µg/m³, ranked lowest first. The values were observed in 2024. A place appears only when it publishes this exact metric, so an absent place means missing data rather than a low value. Only published cities with at least 20,000 residents and city-level observations qualify.

## Sources

Official ECCC/NAPS 2024 annual daily-mean station observations, reproducibly aggregated as an arithmetic mean for eligible stations within 25 km of the target city coordinate. This is a derived place observation, not an asserted municipal monitor aggregate. — https://data-donnees.az.ec.gc.ca/api/file?path=%2Fair%2Fmonitor%2Fnational-air-pollution-surveillance-naps-program%2FData-Donnees%2F2024%2FContinuousData-DonneesContinu%2FAnnualSummaries-SommairesAnnuels%2F2024_AnnualPM25_EN.csv
