Bạc Liêu faces significant air pollution challenges. 100% of districts exceed the WHO guideline for clean air. This is putting 985 thousand across 7 districts at risk.
The average PM2.5 over 2023 was 20µg/m³. That's 4.0 times the WHO guideline for clean air of 5µg/m³.
This is equivalent of everybody, including children, smoking about 332 cigarettes in a year.
If Bạc Liêu met the WHO guideline of 5 µg/m³, the average person would live 1.48 years longer.
That's 1.5M years of life stolen from 985 thousand people. Years of watching children grow up. Years of building a career. Years of quiet mornings and celebrations.
