IQAir’s 2021 World Air Quality Report: Belagavi ranks 546

Published March 23, 2022

In 2021, Belagavi had recorded Particulate Matter (PM) 2.5 annual average of 28.1 microgram/cubic metre – nearly six times above the World Health Organization (WHO) limit – according to a report by IQAir, a Swiss group that measures air quality levels based on the concentration of PM 2.5.

With this Belagavi feature as 546th rank out of 6,475 cities in the world in 2021 most populated city rankings by IQAir. And 4th in the state of Karnataka.

The WHO recommends that average annual readings of small and hazardous airborne particles known as PM2.5 should be no more than 5 micrograms per cubic metre after changing its guidelines last year, saying that even low concentrations caused significant health risks.

The findings are based on the country’s PM 2.5 annual average — airborne particles with less than 2.5 microns in diameter. PM 2.5 is one of the major pollutants contributing to air pollution in the city.

The 2021 World Air Quality Report finds that only three percent of cities and no single country met the latest World Health Organization’s (WHO) PM2.5 annual air quality guidelines. The report analyzes PM2.5 air pollution measurements from air monitoring stations in 6,475 cities in 117 countries, regions and territories.

IQAir’s 2021 World Air Quality Report is the first major global air quality report based on the updated annual WHO air quality guideline for PM2.5. The new guideline was released in September 2021 and cut the existing annual PM2.5 guideline value from 10 µg/m3 to 5 µg/m3.

Fine particle pollution, known as PM2.5, is commonly accepted to be the most harmful, widely-monitored air pollutant and has been found to be a major contributing factor to health effects such as asthma, stroke, heart and lung diseases. PM2.5 leads to millions of premature deaths every year.

Key findings

No country met the latest WHO air quality guideline for PM2.5 in 2021. Only the territories of New Caledonia, U.S. Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico met updated WHO PM2.5 air quality guidelines. Only 222 out of 6,475 global cities covered in the report met updated WHO PM2.5 guidelines. 93 cities in the report had annual PM2.5 concentrations exceeding 10 times the WHO PM2.5 guidelines. Of 174 Latin America and the Caribbean cities, only 12 (7 percent) met the WHO PM2.5 guidelines. Of 65 African cities, only one (1.5 percent) met updated annual WHO PM2.5 guidelines. Of 1,887 Asian cities, only four (0.2 percent) met updated WHO PM2.5 guidelines.
Of the 1,588 cities in Europe, only 55 (3 percent) met the WHO PM2.5 guidelines. The report covered 2,408 cities in the United States and found that average PM2.5 concentrations rose from 9.6 µg/m3 to 10.3 µg/m3 in 2021 compared to 2020. Of the major cities in the United States, Los Angeles was the most polluted. However, the City of Angels saw an overall decrease in PM2.5 pollution of 6 percent compared to 2020.

The top five most polluted countries in 2021 were:

  • Bangladesh
  • Chad
  • Pakistan
  • Tajikistan
  • India

New Delhi (India) is the world’s most polluted capital city for the fourth consecutive year followed by Dhaka (Bangladesh), N’Djamena (Chad), Dushanbe (Tajikistan) and Muscat (Oman).
Air quality in China continued to improve in 2021. More than half of the cities in China included in the report saw lower levels of air pollution when compared to the previous year. Pollution levels within the capital city of Beijing continued a five-year trend of improved air quality, driven by emission control and reduction of coal power plant activity and other high emission industries.
Central and South Asia had some of the world’s worst air quality in 2021 and was home to 46 of the world’s 50 most polluted cities. The only two cities that met updated WHO PM2.5 guideline were Zhezqazghan and Chu (Kazakhstan).
Air quality monitoring remains sparse in Africa, South America and the Middle East, although progress has been made by low-cost air quality sensors often operated by non-profit organizations and citizen scientists.

“It is a shocking fact that no major city or country is providing safe and healthy air to their citizens according to the latest World Health Organization air quality guidelines,” said Frank Hammes, CEO of IQAir. “This report underscores just how much work remains to be done to ensure that everyone has safe, clean and healthy air to breathe. The time for action is now.”

“We understand better than ever before how air pollution damages our health and economies. This report is a wakeup call, revealing how people worldwide are denied access to clean air. Particulate matter air pollution is produced through burning fuels including coal, oil and fossil gas, unsustainable development, and agricultural activities. Addressing the air pollution crisis requires the development of renewable energy resources and clean-powered, accessible public transport. Moreover, solutions to air pollution are also solutions to the climate crisis. Breathing clean air should be a basic human right, not a privilege,” said Greenpeace India Campaign manager Avinash Chanchal.

About the World Air Quality Report

The 2021 World Air Quality Report is based on PM2.5 air pollution data from ground-based air quality monitoring stations in 6,475 cities in 117 countries, regions and territories. Of the air quality monitoring stations included in this report, 44 percent were operated by governmental agencies, while the remainder represent monitoring stations managed by citizen scientists, non-profit organizations and companies.
