Direct PM10 emissions by actors and sectors (particles with diameter of 10 micrometres or less)
Kenya suffers from both high levels of outdoor and indoor air pollution. According to available data, air pollution in Nairobi consistently exceeds the World Health Organisation's guideline limits for PM2.5 [2]. Ambient air pollution was responsible for around 5,000 premature deaths in Kenya in 2019 alone, as reported by the State of the Global Air 2020. In addition, the National Economic Survey 2017 estimated that 19.9 million Kenyans suffer from respiratory ailments that are exacerbated by poor air quality [3].
