Most polluted cities in Michigan, United States, 2023
16 cities in Michigan, United States ranked by their average PM2.5 over the 365 days; 16 above the WHO annual guideline (5.0 µg/m³). Worst: Detroit at 13.4 µg/m³, #151 of 1,302 cities in the world. Cleanest: Flint at 9.1. A city needs measurements on 70% of the days to be ranked.
OpenAQ's archive, where our readings come from, has almost none for 56 of these 365 days. Cities in the United States and Europe have them from the EPA's and the European Environment Agency's own records of the same monitors; elsewhere a city's average is over its other days. Why.
