Lifetime impact estimate
Based on current levels—estimated impactlost if exposure stays at this level over a lifetime
Average PM2.5: 195 µg/m³WHO: 5 µg/m³
Estimate based on the Air Quality Life Index (AQLI) methodology: sustained PM2.5 above the WHO guideline of 5 µg/m³ reduces life expectancy by roughly one year per additional 10 µg/m³. This is a population-level estimate, not a personal prediction.
