Nevsehir faces significant air pollution challenges. 100% of districts exceed the WHO guideline for clean air. This is putting 288 thousand across 8 districts at risk.
The average PM2.5 over 2023 was 18.9µg/m³. That's 3.8 times the WHO guideline for clean air of 5µg/m³.
This is equivalent of everybody, including children, smoking about 314 cigarettes in a year.
If Nevsehir met the WHO guideline of 5 µg/m³, the average person would live 1.37 years longer.
That's 395K years of life stolen from 288 thousand people. Years of watching children grow up. Years of building a career. Years of quiet mornings and celebrations.
Lives cut short. Breathing kills.
