SmogRank / World / Asia / South Korea / Gyeonggi-do
Most polluted cities in Gyeonggi-do, South Korea
25 measured cities, last 30 days; 0 above the WHO 24-hour guideline. Worst: Pubal at 14.1 µg/m³, #374 in the world.
About 0 people in these 20 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
Gyeonggi-do 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 |
|---|---|
| Gunpo | ≈ 10 µg/m³ |
| Uiwang | ≈ 10 µg/m³ |
