This statistic shows the ambient particulate matter pollution exposure based on population-weighted concentration in 2016, broken down by select country. In that year, the population-weighted concentration of particulate matter in Nigeria stood at 122 micrograms per cubic meter. The World Health Organization's air quality standards recommend a maximum concentration of 25 micrograms per cubic meter.

Populated-weighted concentration in micrograms per cubic meter
* Estimation of exposure to household air pollution begins with surveys of the proportion of households in each country using solid fuels of any kind for cooking or heating. This information is then combined with data on the numbers, ages, and sex of people living in households in each country to estimate the proportion, or fraction, of the population exposed to household air pollution. This proportion is the measure of household air pollution exposure.
