The average PM2.5 over 2023 was 10.8Āµg/mĀ³. That's 2.2 times the WHO guideline for clean air of 5Āµg/mĀ³.
This is equivalent of everybody, including children, smoking about 179 cigarettes in a year.
If Ingush met the WHO guideline of 5 Āµg/mĀ³, the average person would live 0.57 years longer.
That's 250K years of life stolen from 439 thousand people. Years of watching children grow up. Years of building a career. Years of quiet mornings and celebrations.
