IBRD only vs Iran: PM2.5 air pollution, mean annual exposure (micrograms per cubic meter)
PM2.5 air pollution, mean annual exposure (micrograms per cubic meter) over time
- IBRD only
- Iran
How they compare
Iran currently reports 40.25 micrograms per cubic meter against 34.27 micrograms per cubic meter in IBRD only, a difference of 5.98 micrograms per cubic meter.
That makes Iran's figure about 1.2 times IBRD only's.
The two have swapped places 3 times across 34 shared years of data; in 1990 it was IBRD only ahead.
IBRD only ranks 21st and Iran ranks 23rd of 47 groups.
Across the 4 decades both report, IBRD only averaged higher in 2 and Iran in 2.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | IBRD only | Iran | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1990s | 39.47 micrograms per cubic meter | 34.85 micrograms per cubic meter | 4.62 micrograms per cubic meter | IBRD only |
| 2000s | 39.65 micrograms per cubic meter | 38.15 micrograms per cubic meter | 1.5 micrograms per cubic meter | IBRD only |
| 2010s | 38.72 micrograms per cubic meter | 40.75 micrograms per cubic meter | 2.03 micrograms per cubic meter | Iran |
| 2020s | 34.1 micrograms per cubic meter | 41 micrograms per cubic meter | 6.9 micrograms per cubic meter | Iran |
Averages of every year both report within each decade.

About this data
Population-weighted exposure to ambient PM2.5 pollution is defined as the average level of exposure of a nation's population to concentrations of suspended particles measuring less than 2.5 microns in aerodynamic diameter, which are capable of penetrating deep into the respiratory tract and causing severe health damage. Exposure is calculated by weighting mean annual concentrations of PM2.5 by population in both urban and rural areas.
