Dar`a faces significant air pollution challenges. 100% of districts exceed the WHO guideline for clean air. This is putting 1.3 million across 3 districts at risk.
The average PM2.5 over 2023 was 14.1Āµg/mĀ³. That's 2.8 times the WHO guideline for clean air of 5Āµg/mĀ³.
This is equivalent of everybody, including children, smoking about 234 cigarettes in a year.
If Dar`a met the WHO guideline of 5 Āµg/mĀ³, the average person would live 0.92 years longer.
That's 1.2M 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.
Lives cut short. Breathing kills.
