SmogRank / World / Switzerland / February 2023
Most polluted cities in Switzerland, February 2023
2 cities in Switzerland ranked by their average PM2.5 over the 28 days. Worst: Basel at 14.4 µg/m³, #388 of 1,088 cities in the world. Cleanest: Kreuzlingen at 14.1. A city needs measurements on 70% of the days to be ranked.
OpenAQ's archive, where our readings come from, has almost none for 25 of these 28 days. Cities in the United States and Europe have them from the EPA's and the European Environment Agency's own records of the same monitors; many cities elsewhere are missing from this board, not clean. Why.
Switzerland has 9 cities ranked over the last 30 days, but only 2 here: most of its monitors have no readings for February 2023 in OpenAQ's archive, where ours come from, or too few to rank. Cities missing from this board weren't clean, just not measured.
