The average PM2.5 over 2023 was 21.6Āµg/mĀ³. That's 4.3 times the WHO guideline for clean air of 5Āµg/mĀ³.
This is equivalent of everybody, including children, smoking about 358 cigarettes in a year.
If Kilis met the WHO guideline of 5 Āµg/mĀ³, the average person would live 1.62 years longer.
That's 305K years of life stolen from 188 thousand people. Years of watching children grow up. Years of building a career. Years of quiet mornings and celebrations.
