Most polluted cities in Yamaguchi, Japan
13 measured cities, last 30 days; 0 above the WHO 24-hour guideline. Worst: Onoda at 7.8 µg/m³, #1,029 in the world.
About 0 people in these 4 cities breathed unhealthy air on an average day over the last 30 days.
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.

Estimated: cities without a monitor
Yamaguchi cities we can't measure, with model estimates for the last 7 days. Listed by population, not ranked: estimates aren't precise enough to rank. Model estimates from the Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS), adjusted to measured cities nearby where there are any. Adjusted, a single day lands within ×1.5 of what a monitor would read about two times in three; unadjusted, it can be off by half or double. Treat them as a guide, not a measurement.
| City | 7-day estimate |
|---|---|
| Tokuyama | ≈ 6 µg/m³ |
| Sanyōonoda | ≈ 6 µg/m³ |
| Ogōri-shimogō | ≈ 7 µg/m³ |
