Darhan-Uul faces significant air pollution challenges. 100% of districts exceed the WHO guideline for clean air. This is putting 103 thousand across 4 districts at risk.
The average PM2.5 over 2023 was 14Āµg/mĀ³. That's 2.8 times the WHO guideline for clean air of 5Āµg/mĀ³.
This is equivalent of everybody, including children, smoking about 232 cigarettes in a year.
If Darhan-Uul met the WHO guideline of 5 Āµg/mĀ³, the average person would live 0.91 years longer.
That's 94K years of life stolen from 103 thousand people. Years of watching children grow up. Years of building a career. Years of quiet mornings and celebrations.
