Kinkkale faces significant air pollution challenges. 100% of districts exceed the WHO guideline for clean air. This is putting 201 thousand across 9 districts at risk.
The average PM2.5 over 2023 was 16.9µg/m³. That's 3.4 times the WHO guideline for clean air of 5µg/m³.
This is equivalent of everybody, including children, smoking about 280 cigarettes in a year.
If Kinkkale met the WHO guideline of 5 µg/m³, the average person would live 1.18 years longer.
That's 238K years of life stolen from 201 thousand people. Years of watching children grow up. Years of building a career. Years of quiet mornings and celebrations.
