Air pollution occurs when harmful particles and gases,
such as fine dust (PM2.5) and nitrogen oxides, enter the
air. In Malta, the average level of PM2.5 is about 11.7
micrograms per cubic meter, which is more than double
the safe limit of 5 recommended by the World Health
Organization, according to the Malta Environment and
Resources Authority (MERA).
