How to read this ranking
- Values are 1-hour PM2.5 in µg/m³, updated about every 10–15 minutes. Levels use the NEA 1-hour bands (0–55, 56–150, 151–250, 251+).
- Singapore is an official NEA reading (worst region). Everywhere else is a CAMS model estimate: it shows how places compare but can differ from local monitoring stations.
- A model value is not directly comparable with an official station reading, so treat close rankings as ties.
