1. Annual departures from the 1951 to 1980 temperature normals. 2. Ground level ozone and fine particulate matter (PM2.5) are two key components of smog that have been linked to health impacts ranging from minor respiratory problems to hospitalizations and premature death. There are no established threshholds below which these pollutants are safe and do not pose a risk to human health. Data sources: Statistics Canada, n.d., CANSIM tables 378-0005 and 002-0044.
