Most polluted cities in South Korea, 2023
No city in South Korea had measurements on 70% of the days, so 2023 has no board for South Korea.
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.
