Its cleanest was May 2024, at 16 US AQI (2.9 µg/m³). 2025 averaged 42 US AQI (7.5 µg/m³), against 39 US AQI (7.0 µg/m³) in 2024.

Every month since 2023

Each square is a month's mean PM2.5 in US AQI from Ontario's measured days, with its place on that month's world ranking under it. A month has a mean once 70% of its days are measured, the rule the monthly rankings use; under that, the square gives the days measured. Each square opens that month's ranking with Ontario marked; each year, the year's. A dashed square is the running month, so far.
