Negeri Sembilan faces significant air pollution challenges. 100% of districts exceed the WHO guideline for clean air. This is putting 1.3 million across 7 districts at risk.
The average PM2.5 over 2023 was 16.5Āµg/mĀ³. That's 3.3 times the WHO guideline for clean air of 5Āµg/mĀ³.
This is equivalent of everybody, including children, smoking about 274 cigarettes in a year.
If Negeri Sembilan met the WHO guideline of 5 Āµg/mĀ³, the average person would live 1.15 years longer.
That's 1.4M years of life stolen from 1.3 million people. Years of watching children grow up. Years of building a career. Years of quiet mornings and celebrations.
