Air Quality Around the World

Air-quality guides for major world cities — dominant pollutants, seasonal patterns, notable episodes, and the local air-quality index each city uses. Different countries report on different scales; our AQI Around the World guide explains why an index of 100 can mean very different things in different places. Looking for US metros instead? See the US cities index.
