Overview

Air Pollution in Médéa

Médéa faces significant air pollution challenges. 27% of districts exceed the WHO guideline for clean air. This is putting 1.1 million across 64 districts at risk.

The average PM2.5 over 2023 was 4.7µg/m³. That's 0.9 times the WHO guideline for clean air of 5µg/m³.

This is equivalent of everybody, including children, smoking about 78 cigarettes in a year.

Annual PM2.5 levels from 2014 to 2023. The WHO guideline for safe air is 5 µg/m³.

Health Impact

Life Expectancy Impact

If Médéa met the WHO guideline of 5 µg/m³, the average person would live 0.01 years longer.

That's 11K years of life stolen from 1.1 million people. Years of watching children grow up. Years of building a career. Years of quiet mornings and celebrations.

Lives cut short. Breathing kills.
