Camagüey faces significant air pollution challenges. 100% of districts exceed the WHO guideline for clean air. This is putting 748 thousand across 13 districts at risk.
The average PM2.5 over 2023 was 7.2µg/m³. That's 1.4 times the WHO guideline for clean air of 5µg/m³.
This is equivalent of everybody, including children, smoking about 119 cigarettes in a year.
If Camagüey met the WHO guideline of 5 µg/m³, the average person would live 0.2 years longer.
That's 150K years of life stolen from 748 thousand people. Years of watching children grow up. Years of building a career. Years of quiet mornings and celebrations.
Lives cut short. Breathing kills.
