Overview

Air Pollution in Omsk

Omsk faces significant air pollution challenges. 100% of districts exceed the WHO guideline for clean air. This is putting 1.9 million across 37 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.

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

Health Impact

Life Expectancy Impact

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

That's 723K years of life stolen from 1.9 million people. Years of watching children grow up. Years of building a career. Years of quiet mornings and celebrations.

Lives cut short. Breathing kills.
