Analysis
In 2017, pm2.5 pollution, population exposed to levels exceeding who interim ta in Madagascar stood at 11.6%.
That represents a change of up 10.4% on the previous year and down 44.0% over ten years.
Over the whole period, pm2.5 pollution, population exposed to levels exceeding who interim ta in Madagascar peaked at 40.9% in 2013 and was at its lowest, 5.2%, in 2000.
That places Madagascar 96th out of 194 countries with data for 2017, putting it in the middle of the range.

About this data
Percent of population exposed to ambient concentrations of PM2.5 that exceed the World Health Organization (WHO) Interim Target 2 (IT-2) is defined as the portion of a country’s population living in places where mean annual concentrations of PM2.5 are greater than 25 micrograms per cubic meter. The Air Quality Guideline (AQG) of 10 micrograms per cubic meter is recommended by the WHO as the lower end of the range of concentrations over which adverse health effects due to PM2.5 exposure have been observed.
