CANUE Data
The Canadian Urban Environmental Health Research Consortium (CANUE) accelerates research on how environmental factors—like air pollution, climate, green spaces, and socioeconomic conditions—affect health outcomes such as birth weight, heart and lung health, diabetes, and mental health. By generating standardized, analysis-ready environmental data for every Canadian postal code, CANUE enables researchers to efficiently study the links between environmental exposures and health. This work supports evidence-based solutions to reduce negative health impacts, lower health care costs, and improve quality of life.
