Orhon faces significant air pollution challenges. 100% of districts exceed the WHO guideline for clean air. This is putting 92 thousand across 2 districts at risk.
The average PM2.5 over 2023 was 13”g/m³. That's 2.6 times the WHO guideline for clean air of 5”g/m³.
This is equivalent of everybody, including children, smoking about 216 cigarettes in a year.
If Orhon met the WHO guideline of 5 ”g/m³, the average person would live 0.8 years longer.
That's 74K years of life stolen from 92 thousand people. Years of watching children grow up. Years of building a career. Years of quiet mornings and celebrations.
