Air Pollution in Ninh Thuận

Ninh Thuận faces significant air pollution challenges. 100% of districts exceed the WHO guideline for clean air. This is putting 630 thousand across 7 districts at risk.

The average PM2.5 over 2023 was 17.9µg/m³. That's 3.6 times the WHO guideline for clean air of 5µg/m³.

This is equivalent of everybody, including children, smoking about 297 cigarettes in a year.

Air Quality Trend

Annual PM2.5 levels from 2014 to 2023. The WHO guideline for safe air is 5 µg/m³.

Life Expectancy Impact

If Ninh Thuận met the WHO guideline of 5 µg/m³, the average person would live 1.29 years longer.

That's 813K years of life stolen from 630 thousand people. Years of watching children grow up. Years of building a career. Years of quiet mornings and celebrations.

Lives cut short. Breathing kills.
