Overview

Air Pollution in Krasnodar

Krasnodar faces significant air pollution challenges. 100% of districts exceed the WHO guideline for clean air. This is putting 5.4 million across 53 districts at risk.

The average PM2.5 over 2023 was 10.6µg/m³. That's 2.1 times the WHO guideline for clean air of 5µg/m³.

This is equivalent of everybody, including children, smoking about 176 cigarettes in a year.

Trends

Air Quality Trend

Annual PM2.5 levels from 2014 to 2023. The WHO guideline for safe air is 5 µg/m³.

Health Impact

Life Expectancy Impact

If Krasnodar met the WHO guideline of 5 µg/m³, the average person would live 0.55 years longer.

That's 3.0M years of life stolen from 5.4 million people. Years of watching children grow up. Years of building a career. Years of quiet mornings and celebrations.

Lives cut short. Breathing kills.
