Pool faces significant air pollution challenges. 100% of districts exceed the WHO guideline for clean air. This is putting 1.1 million across 7 districts at risk.
The average PM2.5 over 2023 was 34.6Āµg/mĀ³. That's 6.9 times the WHO guideline for clean air of 5Āµg/mĀ³.
This is equivalent of everybody, including children, smoking about 574 cigarettes in a year.
If Pool met the WHO guideline of 5 Āµg/mĀ³, the average person would live 2.9 years longer.
That's 3.1M 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.
