Plays the chart through its history, period by period.

OECD, exposure to air pollution (CC BY 4.0): population-weighted annual mean concentration of fine particles, modelled from satellite, ground-monitor and chemical-transport data, so a national figure hides big differences between cities and countryside. The OECD’s series ends some years behind the present. The World Health Organization’s guideline for the annual mean is far below most of these readings.

How much fine particulate pollution people breathe, country by country across Palanor’s country panel. Exposure is highest across South Asia, the Middle East and parts of Africa, and lowest in the Nordic countries, Australia and New Zealand.
