According to recent reports by IQAir, a Swiss air quality technology company, only seven countries worldwide met the World Health Organization's (WHO) air quality guidelines for PM2.5 levels

These nations maintained average PM2.5 concentrations at or below the WHO's recommended limit of 5 micrograms per cubic meter

Iceland recorded the cleanest air in Europe, thanks to its low industrial activity, reliance on geothermal energy, and vast open landscapes that naturally filter pollutants

Estonia’s air remains clean due to strong environmental regulations, extensive forests covering nearly half the country, and a focus on renewable energy sources like wind and biomass

Finland prioritises sustainable living, strict vehicle emissions standards, and widespread use of clean energy sources such as nuclear and hydroelectric power, keeping pollution levels low

With vast natural landscapes, strict industrial regulations, and proactive air quality monitoring, Australia maintains some of the cleanest air among developed nations

Mauritius’ clean air is the result of limited heavy industry, strict environmental laws, and a focus on preserving its natural ecosystem, including coral reefs and lush greenery that contribute to air purification
