The average PM2.5 over 2023 was 23.4µg/m³. That's 4.7 times the WHO guideline for clean air of 5µg/m³.
This is equivalent of everybody, including children, smoking about 388 cigarettes in a year.

That's 1.9M years of life stolen from 1.0 million people. Years of watching children grow up. Years of building a career. Years of quiet mornings and celebrations.
