European city air quality viewer

European city air quality viewer

Compare more than 700 European cities according to long-term exposure to PM₂.₅, NO₂ and O₃. The ranking is based on population-weighted concentrations derived from high-resolution air quality maps together with concentration-response functions recommended by the World Health Organization.

This application was previously known as the City Ranking Viewer.
