SmogRank / Rankings

All 3,290 cities by unhealthy days, last 30 days

Every city with enough measurements in this window, worst first.

CPCB in India: no readings since 12 Oct (488 monitors). EEA in Spain: no readings since 13 Oct (310 monitors). Their cities show older figures or are missing from this board, not clean.

Ranked by unhealthy days: the share of each city's measured days with a daily mean over 35.4 µg/m³ (US AQI 101+), Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups or worse on the US EPA's scale. Cities with the same share are ordered by more unhealthy days, then by the higher average.

The US EPA's Air Quality Index for PM2.5 (2024 breakpoints). Show values as: µg/m³ · US AQI · India AQI · China AQI · European AQI · UK DAQI · Canada AQHI+. About the scales

Not covered: the government monitoring networks of China, Turkey and Iran, which publish only on their own websites. We are building the reader for China's network. The networks of Turkey and Iran don't answer requests from outside their countries, so we can't read them. Most cities there are missing from this board, not clean. Why.

SmogRank, all cities ranked by unhealthy days (PM2.5), last 30 days to 14 Oct 2026, 07:00 UTC: each city's share of its measured days with a daily mean over 35.4 µg/m³, cities measured on 21 or more of the 30 days. Monitor data from national networks via OpenAQ and the publishers listed at smogrank.com/sources. smogrank.com/rankings?w=30d&by=days. Ranked on low-cost sensors, with no reference monitor in the city: #1 Peshawar, #2 Multan, #5 Kasur, #7 Gujranwala, #8 Lahore, #9 Faisalabad and #10 Jammu. Some values from Sensor.Community, ODbL.
