Bretagne faces significant air pollution challenges. 100% of districts exceed the WHO guideline for clean air. This is putting 3.4 million across 4 districts at risk.
The average PM2.5 over 2023 was 6.1Āµg/mĀ³. That's 1.2 times the WHO guideline for clean air of 5Āµg/mĀ³.
This is equivalent of everybody, including children, smoking about 101 cigarettes in a year.
If Bretagne met the WHO guideline of 5 Āµg/mĀ³, the average person would live 0.1 years longer.
That's 335K years of life stolen from 3.4 million people. Years of watching children grow up. Years of building a career. Years of quiet mornings and celebrations.
