Saïda faces significant air pollution challenges. 13% of districts exceed the WHO guideline for clean air. This is putting 443 thousand across 16 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.
If Saïda met the WHO guideline of 5 µg/m³, the average person would live 0 years longer.
That's 0 years of life stolen from 443 thousand people. Years of watching children grow up. Years of building a career. Years of quiet mornings and celebrations.
