The federal subject of Russia which was most exposed to ambient concentration of particulate matter in 2017 was the Republic of Buryatia, where the annual mean exposure level was measured at 34 micrograms per cubic meter. In the Primorsky Krai, it amounted to 31.5 micrograms per cubic meter.
Annual mean population exposure to ambient concentration of particulate matter (PM2.5) in Russia in 2017, by region
(in micrograms per cubic meter)
The source specified the following information:
"Fine particulate matter (PM2.5) is the air pollutant that poses the greatest risk to health globally, affecting more people than any other pollutant (WHO, 2018). Chronic exposure to PM2.5 considerably increases the risk of respiratory and cardiovascular diseases in particular (WHO, 2018)."
The figures are presented for 15 regions with the highest average exposure to PM2.5 concentration.
