Most polluted cities in Gyeonggi-do, South Korea, 2026

26 cities in Gyeonggi-do, South Korea ranked by their average PM2.5 so far (278 of 365 days); 26 above the WHO annual guideline (5.0 µg/m³). Worst: Pubal at 21.5 µg/m³, #331 of 2,745 cities in the world. Cleanest: Yangju at 14.1. A city needs measurements on 70% of the days to be ranked.

About 792K people in these 20 cities breathed unhealthy air on an average day of 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.
