Most polluted cities in Liaoning, China, 2023

We don't read China's government monitoring network: it publishes only on its own website, and we are building the reader for it. Most cities in China are missing here, not clean. The cities shown are measured by community low-cost sensors, tagged as such. Why.

1 city in Liaoning, China ranked by their average PM2.5 over the 365 days; 1 above the WHO annual guideline (5.0 µg/m³). The only one: Shenyang at 33.8 µg/m³, #24 of 1,302 cities in the world. A city needs measurements on 70% of the days to be ranked.

OpenAQ's archive, where our readings come from, has almost none for 56 of these 365 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; elsewhere a city's average is over its other days. Why.
