The following list of countries by air pollution sorts the countries of the world according to their average measured concentration of particulate matter in micrograms per cubic meter (μg/m 3). The World Health Organization's recommended limit is 10 micrograms per cubic meter, although there are also various national guideline values, which ...
Some argue that for a fair comparison, emissions should be analyzed in terms of the amount of CO 2 per capita. [12] Their main argument is illustrated by CO 2 per capita emissions in 2023, China's levels (9.24) are almost two thirds those of the United States (13.83) and less than a sixth of those of Palau (62.59 – the country with the ...
Emission standards set quantitative limits on the permissible amount of specific air pollutants that may be released from specific sources over specific timeframes. They are generally designed to achieve air quality standards and to protect human life. Different regions and countries have different standards for vehicle emissions.

The January 2024 version of the WHO database contains results of ambient (outdoor) air pollution monitoring from almost 5,390 towns and cities in 63 countries. Air quality in the database is represented by the annual mean concentration of particulate matter (PM10 and PM2.5, i.e. particles smaller than 10 or 2.5 micrometers, respectively). [1 ...
[1] [2] By default the least polluted cities which have fewest particulates in the air come first. Click on the arrows next to the table's headers to have the most polluted cities ranked first. Click on the arrows next to the table's headers to have the most polluted cities ranked first.
Some argue that for a fair comparison, emissions should be analyzed in terms of the amount of CO 2 and GHG per capita. [ 7 ] Considering GHG per capita emissions in 2023, China's levels (11.11) are almost two-thirds those of the United States (17.61) and almost a sixth of those of Palau (65,29) – the country with the highest emissions of GHG ...
