Kassérine faces significant air pollution challenges. 100% of districts exceed the WHO guideline for clean air. This is putting 468 thousand across 13 districts at risk.
The average PM2.5 over 2023 was 6.4µg/m³. That's 1.3 times the WHO guideline for clean air of 5µg/m³.
This is equivalent of everybody, including children, smoking about 106 cigarettes in a year.
If Kassérine met the WHO guideline of 5 µg/m³, the average person would live 0.13 years longer.
That's 61K years of life stolen from 468 thousand people. Years of watching children grow up. Years of building a career. Years of quiet mornings and celebrations.
Lives cut short. Breathing kills.
