Are you asking about all forms of pollution: air, land & water (ground water, rivers, lakes, water reservoirs, coastal waters), or just one form of pollution? Also are you asking about country, region or city/town? What size of town & how remote? From the link provided by @gansub in his comment, WHO may rate Australia as having the least air pollution but don't disturb some of the river or harbor sediments in Sydney. Factories long ago left a toxic residue in some of the waterways around Sydney. The same applies for other parts of the world. ...

Don't reside anywhere near Port Pirie, South Australia, the lead smelter there has been contaminating the land for more than a century with lead dust. A similar situation exists for Mount Isa in Queensland, though not as bad as in Port Pirie. Port Augusta in South Australia has an abandoned coal fired power station which has a coal ash dump. When the plant was running the dump was wet & everything was OK. Now the dump is dry & metal laden coal ash is being blown around the region.

@gansub I’m just interested in whether there are places to live that are significantly less polluted (in all the various ways) than the norm.
