Air pollution is a serious global problem that affects many countries, but there are also some countries that have relatively low levels of air pollution. According to the data from the World Health Organization (WHO), here is a list of the top 10 cleanest countries in the world in terms of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) levels in 2019:
- Finland : Finland has relatively low levels of air pollution, thanks to its clean energy sources and strict regulations on industrial emissions. The country's abundant forests and clean waterways also help to reduce air pollution and provide a healthy environment.
- Iceland : Iceland has some of the lowest air pollution levels in the world. This is due to the country's geography and natural resources, including its clean energy sources such as geothermal and hydropower, as well as its sparsely populated nature, and strong regulation on industrial emissions.
- Estonia : Estonia has relatively low levels of air pollution, thanks to its focus on clean energy sources, such as biomass and wind power, as well as strict regulations on industrial emissions and transportation. The country's small population and low density also help to keep air pollution levels low.
