Annotation: The COVID-19 pandemic has even had an impact on environmental change. Air pollution, which is classified as one of the biggest environmental problems affecting public health, changed as the pandemic progressed. Evidence has also emerged that polluted air increases the risk of contracting COVID-19 and contributes to an increase in the number of deaths among those infected. Thus, a pattern was found between air quality and the number of cases and deaths. The objective of the study is to briefly review Canada’s experience with environmental rulemaking in a pandemic environment. The aim of the study is to highlight the practical proposals of foreign jurisdiction on the analyzed issue, to reflect the advantages and disadvantages of the received experience. Methodological basis: formal-legal method, comparative-legal method, general scientific methods of knowledge. Rethinking the definition of legislative standards to the quality of the environment is considered in the area of effective and rapid struggle against pandemic in the future and for the sake of decent maintenance of environmental quality, which is the main direction of state policy in the field of environmental protection.
