Comunidad Valenciana faces significant air pollution challenges. 100% of districts exceed the WHO guideline for clean air. This is putting 5.0 million across 3 districts at risk.
The average PM2.5 over 2023 was 6Āµg/mĀ³. That's 1.2 times the WHO guideline for clean air of 5Āµg/mĀ³.
This is equivalent of everybody, including children, smoking about 100 cigarettes in a year.
If Comunidad Valenciana met the WHO guideline of 5 Āµg/mĀ³, the average person would live 0.1 years longer.
That's 498K years of life stolen from 5.0 million people. Years of watching children grow up. Years of building a career. Years of quiet mornings and celebrations.
Lives cut short. Breathing kills.
