“In 2021, @WHO set the safe limit for the annual average concentration of this #FineParticulateMatter at 5 micrograms of #pollutant per cubic metre, meaning that any region where the annual average concentration is over this figure is considered to have unsafe air quality. It’s a bar that almost all regions on Earth fail to clear.”
