SmogRank / World / Thailand / Bangkok / October 2023
Most polluted cities in Bangkok, Thailand, October 2023
2 cities in Bangkok, Thailand ranked by their average PM2.5 over the 31 days. Worst: Nong Khaem at 25.7 µg/m³, #36 of 1,965 cities in the world. Cleanest: Bangkok at 22.2. A city needs measurements on 70% of the days to be ranked.
Bangkok has 13 cities ranked over the last 30 days, but only 2 here: most of its monitors have no readings for October 2023 in OpenAQ's archive, where ours come from, or too few to rank. Cities missing from this board weren't clean, just not measured.
About 406K people in these 2 cities breathed unhealthy air on an average day of October 2023.
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.
