Overview

Air Pollution in PiauĂ­

PiauĂ­ faces significant air pollution challenges. 99% of districts exceed the WHO guideline for clean air. This is putting 3.4 million across 224 districts at risk.

The average PM2.5 over 2023 was 8.2”g/m³. That's 1.6 times the WHO guideline for clean air of 5”g/m³.

This is equivalent of everybody, including children, smoking about 136 cigarettes in a year.

Trends

Air Quality Trend

Annual PM2.5 levels from 2014 to 2023. The WHO guideline for safe air is 5 ”g/m³.

Health Impact

Life Expectancy Impact

If Piauí met the WHO guideline of 5 ”g/m³, the average person would live 0.31 years longer.

That's 1.1M years of life stolen from 3.4 million people. Years of watching children grow up. Years of building a career. Years of quiet mornings and celebrations.

Lives cut short. Breathing kills.
