Tirol faces significant air pollution challenges. 100% of districts exceed the WHO guideline for clean air. This is putting 761 thousand across 9 districts at risk.
The average PM2.5 over 2023 was 9.8Āµg/mĀ³. That's 2.0 times the WHO guideline for clean air of 5Āµg/mĀ³.
This is equivalent of everybody, including children, smoking about 163 cigarettes in a year.
If Tirol met the WHO guideline of 5 Āµg/mĀ³, the average person would live 0.46 years longer.
That's 350K years of life stolen from 761 thousand people. Years of watching children grow up. Years of building a career. Years of quiet mornings and celebrations.
