Most unhealthy days 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 its share of unhealthy days over the 365 days. The most unhealthy days: Shenyang, China, 84 of 264 measured days. 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.

Ranked by unhealthy days: the share of each city's measured days with a daily mean over 35.4 µg/m³ (US AQI 101+), Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups or worse on the US EPA's scale. Ties go to the higher average.

The US EPA's Air Quality Index for PM2.5 (2024 breakpoints). Show values as: µg/m³ · US AQI · India AQI · China AQI · European AQI · UK DAQI · Canada AQHI+. About the scales
