Most polluted cities in Gyeonggi-do, South Korea, 2025
26 cities in Gyeonggi-do, South Korea ranked by their average PM2.5 over the 365 days; 26 above the WHO annual guideline (5.0 µg/m³). Worst: Pubal at 21.2 µg/m³, #226 of 2,624 cities in the world. Cleanest: Gapyeong at 14.0. A city needs measurements on 70% of the days to be ranked.
About 697K people in these 20 cities breathed unhealthy air on an average day of 2025.
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.
