Most polluted cities in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, France, January 2024
17 cities in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, France ranked by their average PM2.5 over the 31 days. Worst: Passy at 22.6 µg/m³, #216 of 2,341 cities in the world. Cleanest: Aurillac at 6.9. A city needs measurements on 70% of the days to be ranked.
About 64.1K people in these 2 cities breathed unhealthy air on an average day of January 2024.
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.
