SmogRank / World / Mexico / June 2026

Most polluted cities in Mexico, June 2026

44 cities in Mexico ranked by their average PM2.5 over the 30 days. Worst: Hacienda Santa Fe at 24.4 µg/m³, #205 of 2,466 cities in the world. Cleanest: Victoria de Durango at 0.4. A city needs measurements on 70% of the days to be ranked.

About 141K people in these 18 cities breathed unhealthy air on an average day of June 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.
