Top 10 Countries With The Cleanest And Safest Air To Breathe In The World. by Explorers(m): 2:46pm On Sep 15, 2016
This World can be a truly beautiful place if we get the purest of the air to breathe in and the cleanest of the waters to drink. One of the adversaries of the modern civilization is the rise of pollution levels.

Some countries are facing a tough time dealing with climate change and pollution in these countries is in more worrisome condition with air quality decreasing with each passing day.

Some of these countries are trying everything possible to curb the pollution in their cities' atmosphere, while many people believe that the situation is already out of hand and are willing to relocate to cleaner spaces.


In an otherwise pollution ridden world, there are still some countries left that offer the cleanest airs to breathe in and thus have become the most coveted destinations to visit. Let us see which of these countries still offer you that pristine environment, unaffected by pollution.

1. Iceland.



The country has the cleanest air in the world and that can be credited to the sparse population and immense green cover.

The country is located in Northern Europe and has the least population density in Europe. The scenic beauty and the dense green cover make it a popular destination for vacations as well as shooting locations.

2. Canada.


The biggest country in the list and the second country with the cleanest air in the world, Canada shouldn't come as a surprise.

Canada has more lakes than the rest of the world’s countries combined. Approximately 60 percent of the world’s lakes are in Canada. It has estimated 31, 752 major lakes that has been officially claimed by Government of Canada, while there are many unknown/unclaimed small lakes that are estimated to be at about 2million but with no official data for recognition.

Canada is also ranked 25th on the list of Greenest countries of the world.(Countries with most vegetation).

The country has a massive geographical variety which makes it home to a large variety of flora and fauna. The country makes it a point that the green cover and the fauna sheltered by it is unharmed with the use of strict environmental laws and policies.

3. Finland.


Located in northern Europe, Finland is a neighbour to Sweden and Norway. Despite similar geographical conditions, the country has much more cleaner air than its neighbouring countries.


Ranked 1st on the list of Greenest countries in the world(Country with most Vegetation).


If we compare number of officially claimed lakes, then Finland would rank as country with most lakes in the world of over 180,000 that is considerably more than Canada.


The dense forest cover helps the country to effectively tackle bad air quality.

4. Brunei.

Brunei is the only Asian country in the list. The country shares its border with Malaysia on the land. The country attained its freedom from the UK in 1984 and has still managed to climb the ladder of growth. It is classified as a "developed" country and has seen immense industrial growth.

Despite the growth in economy and rapid industrialisation, the country manages to be in this list because of the rich biodiversity.

7. New Zealand.


Neighbouring Australia, the country that was once a British colony has grown up to be a developed country.

The sparse population, dense forest and abundance of wildlife cover is the reason behind the country's clean air.

In addition to their great progress in economic, political, and social terms, the Swedish have protected their wildlife and their clean air very effectively.

9. Ireland.


Many travellers visit Ireland for the presence of its beautiful atmosphere, landscapes, attractive green hills and open space.

However, there is one more reason for which Ireland is one of the most visited tourist destination in the world, the country has managed to keep its air very clean.

In addition to environmental regulations, the Irish are lucky to be so exposed to strong winds coming in from the sea and overthrowing the little pollution they generate away.

10. Luxembourg.


With dense Ardennes forest and nature parks in the north, and the Moselle river valley in the southeast, Luxembourg, a small European nation has very clean air. Much of it can also be credited to strict regulations, low population density and wildlife reserves.

Top Countries With the most polluted air in the world.



Pollution is a silent killer, no matter how much money you have and how powerful you are, you can’t escape the wrath of pollution.

The very air you breathe, the water you drink and the food that you eat are all affected by pollution. And you can never be fully isolated from the effects of a polluted environment.

Pollution is the introduction of harmful substances into the environment; into air, into the water and into the earth; in the form of sounds and smog that affects the visibility.

These shitty things contaminate the basic ingredients for a sustainable life on this planet. Unless one is genetically modified to assimilate and live off these harmful substances, they will have very adverse effects on the health.

1. China.


China tops the list with a total of 83 cities.

Chinese cities are notorious for smog that blocks the vision.

In fact, an environmentalist collected the particles in the smog of Beijing and created a brick out of it.

With a population of 1.5 billion, China leads the world in the manufacturing industry.

3. Bangladesh.

Bangladesh is already suffering from global warming, poverty, and overpopulation.


4. Mongolia.

Economic activity in Mongolia was primarily based on herding and agriculture. But with the steady growth mineral deposits of copper, coal, molybdenum, tin, tungsten, and gold have emerged as a driver of industrial production.

5. Egypt.

The most polluted cities in Egypt can be found in the Delta area and Cairo which is the capital city is also among the most polluted cities in the world. Air pollution in Egypt is caused by the emissions of factories and vehicles and burning coal and wood for heating.

6. Afghanistan.

The most polluted city in Afghanistan is Kabul which is the capital city of the country. The number of people who die every year in Kabul out of air pollution is estimated by the Afghanistan government to be 3000 deaths. Using diesel generators and burning plastic bags and tires for fuel are responsible for increasing the level of air pollution.

7. Bahrain.

Life expectancy in Bahrain is 76 for females and 73 for males. The main causes behind air pollution in Bahrain include smoke, dust, industrial emissions and energy production.

8. Iran.

The average life expectancy in Iran is 74 years and the main reason behind increasing air pollution inthe country is the large amount of dangerous particles that can be found in air such as carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, asbestos and nitrogen oxide that are inhaled by those who live in Iran.

9.Qatar.

It is difficult to believe that this country is ranked here for many reasons. It is widely known as the richest country in the world and instead of helping in solving the problem of air pollution in the world, it increases the crisis to be ranked here among the countries that have the dirtiest air in the world.
Qatar is not one of the most populated countries in the world as its population is estimated to be 2.15 million people but the GDP (PPP) per capita is extremely high and is the highest in the whole world as it records $96, 903, making those who stay in Qatar enjoy living the most luxurious life in the world by the money that they have.

The most polluted cities in Qatar are Doha which is the capital city and is ranked as the 12thmost pollutedcity in the world and there is also Al Wakrah which is the 25th city in the world in terms of having bad air quality. The main reasons that are responsible for increasing the bad quality of air in Qatar are construction and air traffic that is usually busy.


10. Turkey.

Turkey is one of the newly industrialized countries. Well, it is self-explanatory. Turkey is among the world’s leading producers of agricultural products, textiles, motor vehicles, ships and other transportation equipment, construction materials, consumer electronics and home appliances.
