Krasnoyarsk faces significant air pollution challenges. 88% of districts exceed the WHO guideline for clean air. This is putting 2.8 million across 58 districts at risk.
The average PM2.5 over 2023 was 9.1µg/m³. That's 1.8 times the WHO guideline for clean air of 5µg/m³.
This is equivalent of everybody, including children, smoking about 151 cigarettes in a year.
If Krasnoyarsk met the WHO guideline of 5 µg/m³, the average person would live 0.4 years longer.
That's 1.1M years of life stolen from 2.8 million people. Years of watching children grow up. Years of building a career. Years of quiet mornings and celebrations.
Lives cut short. Breathing kills.
