Why it ranks here

Cleaner than usual this week. The last 7 days averaged 8.8 µg/m³, well below its typical 16.0; rain or wind often clears the air for a while.
Seasonal. Over the past year its worst months were July, averaging up to 309.1 µg/m³ against 9.4 in its cleanest month. Seasonal peaks usually come from heating, crop burning, fire or dust seasons.

Based on Kinzan's own measurements; causes are the usual kinds for a pattern like this, not a confirmed source.
