Canada's air quality was worse than the U.S. for the first time in 2023 due to wildfires, according to the 2023 World Air Quality report from Swiss company IQAir. Raging wildfires caused Canada's air quality to drop, with 14 of the 15 most polluted cities in North America being in Canada, topped by Fort McMurray and Peace River in Alberta. This marks the first time Canada's air quality has been worse than the U.S., as previous years saw Canada having the cleanest air quality in North America.
