The average levels of particulate matter (PM2.5) a key cause of adverse health. Effects associated with air pollution have decreased in Toronto from 8.7 μg/m3 in 2014 to 7.0 in 2016. Assuming this trend continues as a linear relationship, what would we expect the levels of PM2.5 to be in the year 2022?
