Most polluted cities in Andhra Pradesh, India, May 2026

5 cities in Andhra Pradesh, India ranked by their average PM2.5 over the 31 days. Worst: Vijayawada at 40.3 µg/m³, #101 of 2,852 cities in the world. Cleanest: Amaravati at 22.2. A city needs measurements on 70% of the days to be ranked.

About 967K people in this city breathed unhealthy air on an average day of May 2026.

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.
