Ajaria faces significant air pollution challenges. 100% of districts exceed the WHO guideline for clean air. This is putting 423 thousand across 5 districts at risk.
The average PM2.5 over 2023 was 13.2µg/m³. That's 2.6 times the WHO guideline for clean air of 5µg/m³.
This is equivalent of everybody, including children, smoking about 219 cigarettes in a year.
If Ajaria met the WHO guideline of 5 µg/m³, the average person would live 0.78 years longer.
That's 330K years of life stolen from 423 thousand people. Years of watching children grow up. Years of building a career. Years of quiet mornings and celebrations.
