Estuaire faces significant air pollution challenges. 100% of districts exceed the WHO guideline for clean air. This is putting 1.2 million across 3 districts at risk.
The average PM2.5 over 2023 was 23.7Āµg/mĀ³. That's 4.7 times the WHO guideline for clean air of 5Āµg/mĀ³.
This is equivalent of everybody, including children, smoking about 393 cigarettes in a year.
If Estuaire met the WHO guideline of 5 Āµg/mĀ³, the average person would live 1.8 years longer.
That's 2.1M years of life stolen from 1.2 million people. Years of watching children grow up. Years of building a career. Years of quiet mornings and celebrations.
