Batman faces significant air pollution challenges. 100% of districts exceed the WHO guideline for clean air. This is putting 595 thousand across 6 districts at risk.
The average PM2.5 over 2023 was 27.6Āµg/mĀ³. That's 5.5 times the WHO guideline for clean air of 5Āµg/mĀ³.
This is equivalent of everybody, including children, smoking about 458 cigarettes in a year.
If Batman met the WHO guideline of 5 Āµg/mĀ³, the average person would live 2.19 years longer.
That's 1.3M years of life stolen from 595 thousand people. Years of watching children grow up. Years of building a career. Years of quiet mornings and celebrations.
