Overview

Air Pollution in Lipetsk

Lipetsk faces significant air pollution challenges. 100% of districts exceed the WHO guideline for clean air. This is putting 1.1 million across 22 districts at risk.

The average PM2.5 over 2023 was 9µg/m³. That's 1.8 times the WHO guideline for clean air of 5µg/m³.

This is equivalent of everybody, including children, smoking about 149 cigarettes in a year.

Health Impact

Life Expectancy Impact

If Lipetsk met the WHO guideline of 5 µg/m³, the average person would live 0.38 years longer.

That's 428K years of life stolen from 1.1 million people. Years of watching children grow up. Years of building a career. Years of quiet mornings and celebrations.

Lives cut short. Breathing kills.
