The European Environment Agency's air quality index bands for PM2.5 (2024 revision); it has bands, not numbers, so values stay in µg/m³. Show values as: µg/m³ · US AQI · India AQI · China AQI · European AQI · UK DAQI · Canada AQHI+. About the scales

Updated 2026-10-02 04:07 UTC. Values are PM2.5 (fine particles), the median of each city's monitors in µg/m³.
