Description (excerpt):
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.
