Bari faces significant air pollution challenges. 100% of districts exceed the WHO guideline for clean air. This is putting 721 thousand across 6 districts at risk.
The average PM2.5 over 2023 was 10.7µg/m³. That's 2.1 times the WHO guideline for clean air of 5µg/m³.
This is equivalent of everybody, including children, smoking about 178 cigarettes in a year.
If Bari met the WHO guideline of 5 µg/m³, the average person would live 0.56 years longer.
That's 404K years of life stolen from 721 thousand people. Years of watching children grow up. Years of building a career. Years of quiet mornings and celebrations.
