Description (excerpt):
Air pollution is among the top 5 threats to life expectancy in Nigeria. Fine particulate air pollution (PM2.5) shortens the average Nigerian resident’s life expectancy by 2 years relative to what it would be if the World Health Organization (WHO) guideline of 5 µg/m³ was met. Some areas of Nigeria fare much worse than average, with air pollution shortening lives by more than 3.5 years in parts of the Cross River and Taraba states in Nigeria.
