Air Pollution in Si Sa Ket

Si Sa Ket faces significant air pollution challenges. 100% of districts exceed the WHO guideline for clean air. This is putting 1.1 million across 22 districts at risk.

The average PM2.5 over 2023 was 21.7µg/m³. That's 4.3 times the WHO guideline for clean air of 5µg/m³.

This is equivalent of everybody, including children, smoking about 360 cigarettes in a year.

That's 1.7M years of life stolen from 1.1 million people. Years of watching children grow up. Years of building a career. Years of quiet mornings and celebrations.

Lives cut short. Breathing kills.
