air pollution data by country
What percentage of the world population is exposed to pollution?
95% of the world population have a mean annual exposure which exceeds WHO guidelines. This is not only the case for low-to-middle income countries, but also for many high-income countries. In many countries in Europe – the UK, Germany and France for example – most of the population is exposed to a level of pollution that exceeds this threshold.
Air Quality Database Updates 2023/2024
The WHO Ambient Air Quality Database compiles data on ground measurements of annual mean concentrations of nitrogen dioxide (NO2), particulate matter of a diameter equal or smaller than 10 μm (PM10) or equal or smaller than 2.5 μm (PM2.5) which aim at representing an average for the city or town as a whole, rather than for individual stations. Both
Limitations
Data from different countries are of limited comparability because of: 1. The coverage is not comprehensive and only captures a small fraction of cities in some countries 2. Omission of data which are known to exist, but which could not yet be accessed due to language issues or limited accessibility 3. The measure is localized (city average are an
What It Can Do
✅️ serve as input data in models to estimates air pollution exposure with topographic, population and satellite data together with chemicals transport models among other. ✅️ contribute to advocate for better monitoring of air quality everywhere ✅️ acknowledge growing effort of the number of monitoring stations around the world ✅️ raise awareness ab
What It Cannot Do
❌️ draw direct comparison between countries ❌️ rank the most polluted cities Ideally, the monitoring data used to calculate the average annual PM and NO2 concentrations should be collected throughout the year, for several years, to reduce bias owing to seasonal fluctuations or to a non-representative year. Care should be taken that the monitors use
