Quảng Bình faces significant air pollution challenges. 100% of districts exceed the WHO guideline for clean air. This is putting 974 thousand across 8 districts at risk.
The average PM2.5 over 2023 was 18.6µg/m³. That's 3.7 times the WHO guideline for clean air of 5µg/m³.
This is equivalent of everybody, including children, smoking about 309 cigarettes in a year.
If Quảng Bình met the WHO guideline of 5 µg/m³, the average person would live 1.33 years longer.
That's 1.3M years of life stolen from 974 thousand people. Years of watching children grow up. Years of building a career. Years of quiet mornings and celebrations.
Lives cut short. Breathing kills.
