SmogRank / World / Germany / Schleswig-Holstein / April 2023
Most polluted cities in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany, April 2023
5 cities in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany ranked by their average PM2.5 over the 30 days. Worst: Kiel at 10.9 µg/m³, #317 of 1,567 cities in the world. Cleanest: Lübeck at 8.3. A city needs measurements on 70% of the days to be ranked.
OpenAQ's archive, where our readings come from, has almost none for 3 of these 30 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.
About 0 people in these 2 cities breathed unhealthy air on an average day of April 2023.
Ranked by people: each city's population times its share of unhealthy days, those with a daily mean over 35.4 µg/m³ (US AQI 101+). That is how many people living there breathed unhealthy air on an average day. Only cities measured at 2 or more places at least 3 km apart are ranked: one monitor shouldn't speak for a whole city. Population is the city itself, not its wider metro area.
