Most polluted cities in Free State, South Africa
No city in Free State, South Africa has enough readings to rank for the last 24 hours.
A city joins the 24-hour ranking with 18 hours of readings in the last 24; none here has that right now, so there is nothing to map or chart.
India's National Air Quality Index (CPCB), PM2.5 sub-index. Show values as: µg/m³ · US AQI · India AQI · China AQI · European AQI · UK DAQI · Canada AQHI+. About the scales
Estimated: cities without a monitor
Free State cities we can't measure, with model estimates for the last 7 days. Listed by population, not ranked: estimates aren't precise enough to rank. Model estimates from the Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS), adjusted to measured cities nearby where there are any. Adjusted, a single day lands within ×1.5 of what a monitor would read about two times in three; unadjusted, it can be off by half or double. Treat them as a guide, not a measurement.
