Azerbaijan Fact Sheet

-11月-2

Azerbaijan has made significant progress in reducing its PM2.5 concentrations over the past two decades, though citizens in the most polluted parts of the country could gain up to 1.5 years of life expectancy, if PM2.5 concentrations were permanently reduced to meet the WHO guideline of 5 μg/m3. Azerbaijan has a unique opportunity to adopt and enforce its first National Air Quality Standard for annual PM2.5 concentration, setting an example for Europe and the world.

Qatar Fact Sheet

Qatar is the fourth most polluted country in the world. Fine particulate air pollution (PM2.5) shortens the average Qatar resident’s life expectancy by 3.3 years, relative to what it would be if the World Health Organization (WHO) guideline of 5 μg/m3 was met. In the most polluted parts of the country, such as Umm Salal and Al Daayen, Qatar residents are losing more than 3.5 years off their lives as a result of exposure to high air pollution (Figure 1).

India Fact Sheet

-8月-2

After a decade of experiencing particulate pollution levels averaging at approximately 49 µg/m³—more than nine times the WHO guideline of 5 µg/m³—particulate concentrations in India dropped to 41.4 µg/m³ in 2022 (Figure 1). If these reductions are sustained, an average Indian is likely to live 9 months longer compared to what they would have if they were exposed to levels similar to the last decade. Further, if pollution in India met the WHO guideline, Indian citizens could gain an additional 3.6 years onto their life expectancy (Figure 2).

Bangladesh is the world’s most polluted country. Fine particulate air pollution (PM2.5) shortens the average Bangladeshi resident’s life expectancy by 4.8 years, relative to what it would be if the World Health Organization (WHO) guideline of 5 µg/m³ was met (Figure 1). Some areas of Bangladesh fare much worse than others, such as the Gazipur and Narsingdi districts, where air pollution is shortening lives by more than 6 years.

Air pollution is the greatest external threat to human life expectancy on the planet. The AQLI’s latest 2022 data reveals that permanently reducing global PM2.5 air pollution to meet the World Health Organization (WHO) guideline would add 1.9 years onto average human life expectancy—or a combined 14.9 billion life years saved. The impact of PM2.5 on global life expectancy is comparable to that of smoking, more than 4 times that of high alcohol use, more than 5 times that of transport injuries like car crashes, and more than 6 times that of HIV/AIDS.

United States Fact Sheet

-8月-2

Since the Clean Air Act was enacted in 1970, particulate pollution (PM2.5) has declined by 67.2 percent—extending the life expectancy of an average American by 1.5 years (Figure 1). Responding to the latest scientific evidence on the health impact of lower levels of air pollution , the United States recently revised their national annual standard for PM2.5 from 12 µg/m3 to 9 µg/m3. With this revision implemented, only 13 out of the 3,142 counties in the United States (home to approximately 5 percent of the county’s population) are not meeting this standard. If these counties were to meet the country’s new standard, the total life expectancy in the US would go up by 1.9 million years.

Of the world’s 30 most polluted countries, eight are in Central and West Africa, a region that comprises 27 countries and 638.7 million people. Fine particulate air pollution (PM2.5) shortens the average Central and West African’s life expectancy by 1.6 years, relative to what it would be if the World Health Organization (WHO) guideline of 5 µg/m3 was met. In this region, average particulate pollution levels are 4.2 times the WHO guideline, which amounts to a total of 1 billion life years lost to pollution for this region as a whole. Central Africa is more polluted than Western Africa, with the Central African countries of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Republic of the Congo and Rwanda being the most polluted countries. Air pollution is shortening lives by 2.4 years for the average resident of Central Africa. In comparison, an average resident of West Africa loses 1.2 years of life expectancy.

The world’s 50 most polluted regions all belong to the Northern Plains of India. The seven states and union territories comprising the majority of this region—Bihar, Chandigarh, Delhi, Haryana, Punjab, Uttar Pradesh, and West Bengal face the greatest health burden due to particulate pollution in India. Fine particulate air pollution (PM2.5) shortens an average Indian’s life expectancy by 5.3 years, relative to what it would be if the World Health Organization (WHO) guideline of 5 µg/m3 was met.

在新冠肺炎疫情席卷全球的第一年，世界经济发展明显放缓，全球年平均颗粒物污染水平（PM2.5）相比起2019年的水平来说却基本没有变化。与此同时，越来越多的研究证据表明，就算是暴露在非常低水平的空气污染之下，人类健康也会收到明显的伤害。这导致世界卫生组织（WHO）在最近修改了其颗粒物污染暴露水平的安全健康标准（从10微克每立方米降至5微克每立方米）。这使世界上大部分地区(全球97.3%人口的居住地)被归纳为空气不安全地区。

Indonesia’s Air Pollution and its Impact on Life Expectancy

The average Indonesian can expect to lose 2.5 years of life expectancy at current pollution levels, according to the Air Quality Life Index (AQLI), because air quality fails to meet the World Health Organization (WHO) guideline for concentrations of fine particulate matter (PM2.5). The pollution index shows that the health impacts of particulate pollution are the greatest in Depok, Bandung, and Jakarta, where particulate pollution concentrations are the highest.

自2014年中国宣布“向污染宣战”以来，中国的细颗粒物空气污染（PM2.5）持续下降。到2022年，污染水平 比2013年降低了41%（见图1）。 如果这种改善趋势能够持续下去，中国公民的平均寿命预计将比2013 年延长2.0年。尽管取得了显著进展，挑战依然存在。虽然中国的平均颗粒物污染水平已达到国家标准， 即35微克/立方米，但仍远高于世界卫生组织（WHO）建议的5微克/立方米的指导值。因此，与达到世界卫 生组织指导值的情况相比，颗粒物污染使中国居民的平均预期寿命缩短了2.3年。

在过去的一年里，新冠肺炎封锁措施为地球上一些污染最为严重的地区带来了蓝天白云，但在世界的另一端，被愈加高温和干燥的气候而加剧了的野火把烟雾送到了数千英里之外的城市上空。这两个大相径庭的生活现状为我们呈现了两个形成鲜明对比的未来，而区分这两种未来的关键就在于减少化石燃料消耗的政策。空气质量寿命指数（AQLI）的全新数据强调了对空气污染毫无作为的社会危害性。除非全球颗粒物污染水平下降到世界卫生组织（WHO）认可的安全水准，人类的预期寿命将平均缩短2.2年。对于空气污染最严重地区的居民，他们的预期寿命可能将缩短超过5年。悄无声息的PM2.5污染对人类预期寿命的影响比肺结核、艾滋病、吸烟甚至战争等传染病和行为健康风险都更具破坏性。

North India Fact Sheet

-10月-2

More than 480 million people, or about 40 percent of India’s population, reside in the seven states and union territories comprising the bulk of the Indo-Gangetic Plain region of north India – Bihar, Chandigarh, Delhi, Haryana, Punjab, Uttar Pradesh, and West Bengal (Figure 1). Though the Indo-Gangetic Plain’s particulate pollution is exacerbated by geologic and meteorological factors, the AQLI’s dust- and sea salt-removed fine particulate matter (PM2.5) data imply that human activity plays a key role in generating the severe particulate pollution that these residents face. That is likely due to the fact that the region’s population density is more than three times that of the rest of the country, meaning more pollution from vehicular, residential, and agricultural sources. A denser population also means more human lives are impacted by each pollution source. Across India, reducing particulate pollution to the World Health Organization’s guideline of 10 μg/m3 would increase the national average life expectancy by 4.3 years. In north India, there would be outsize impacts of policy that reduces air pollution to meet Indian or International norms.

India’s ‘War Against Pollution’: An Opportunity for Longer Lives”

-1月-2

In 2019, India declared a “war against pollution” and launched its National Clean Air Programme (NCAP), signaling its desire to reduce particulate air pollution—the greatest threat to human health on the planet. The Programme, which aims to reduce particulate pollution by 20-30 percent nationally, will be implemented over the next five years. If successful in meeting its goals and sustaining the reduced pollution levels, the NCAP would produce substantial benefits, extending the life expectancy of the average Indian by about 1.3 years. People breathing the most polluted air—namely those in Delhi and parts of Uttar Pradesh—could live up to 3 years longer. Further, the NCAP highlighted 102 cities containing about one quarter of the country’s population that fell short of India’s air standards. If all the cities permanently reduced particulate pollution by 25 percent (the midpoint of NCAP’s goal), their residents would gain 1.4 years. Though achieving the NCAP’s goals would be an important step toward reversing India’s 69 percent increase in fine particulate pollution (PM2.5) concentrations since 1998, India could achieve further gains in life expectancy for its citizens through additional pollution reductions that bring the country into compliance with its own official air quality standards or the World Health Organization’s (WHO) guidelines for PM2.5 concentrations.
