Bình Dương faces significant air pollution challenges. 100% of districts exceed the WHO guideline for clean air. This is putting 2.6 million across 9 districts at risk.
The average PM2.5 over 2023 was 25.6µg/m³. That's 5.1 times the WHO guideline for clean air of 5µg/m³.
This is equivalent of everybody, including children, smoking about 425 cigarettes in a year.
If Bình Dương met the WHO guideline of 5 µg/m³, the average person would live 2.04 years longer.
That's 5.4M years of life stolen from 2.6 million people. Years of watching children grow up. Years of building a career. Years of quiet mornings and celebrations.
