Tiaret faces significant air pollution challenges. 38% of districts exceed the WHO guideline for clean air. This is putting 1.1 million across 42 districts at risk.
The average PM2.5 over 2023 was 4.8µg/m³. That's 1.0 times the WHO guideline for clean air of 5µg/m³.
This is equivalent of everybody, including children, smoking about 80 cigarettes in a year.
If Tiaret 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.
