Thái Bình faces significant air pollution challenges. 100% of districts exceed the WHO guideline for clean air. This is putting 2.0 million across 8 districts at risk.
The average PM2.5 over 2023 was 27.3µg/m³. That's 5.5 times the WHO guideline for clean air of 5µg/m³.
This is equivalent of everybody, including children, smoking about 453 cigarettes in a year.
If Thái Bình met the WHO guideline of 5 µg/m³, the average person would live 2.2 years longer.
That's 4.5M years of life stolen from 2.0 million people. Years of watching children grow up. Years of building a career. Years of quiet mornings and celebrations.
