Benefit per ton of PM 2.5 reduced
Improving the health of citizens by reducing fine particulate matter

374 290 479$

By reducing its emissions of fine particulate matter (PM 2.5), this industry could decrease the costs related to health problems caused by fine particles. For the year 2022 only, this potential is estimated at 374 290 479$. This claim is based on a 2022 Health Canada study titled « Health benefits per tonne of air pollutant emissions reduction ».

It can be read that each reduction of one ton of emissions would result in a saving of $340,000 to $520,000 in health-related expenses.
