Methodology: Current pollutant concentrations are sampled from WeatherAPI for up to 400 large cities; US AQI values are calculated from PM2.5 using EPA breakpoints.

Why Are PM10 Levels So High in These Cities?

PM10 includes inhalable particles up to ten micrometres across, including road dust, construction dust, pollen and other coarse material. Windblown dust can make this ranking very different from the finer PM2.5 list.

Frequently Asked Questions: Cities With the Highest PM10 Right Now

Which city has the highest PM10 right now?
Among the major cities we track, Riyadh has the highest current PM10 concentration at about 2838.7 µg/m³ (as of October 21, 2026).
How is PM10 different from PM2.5?
PM10 includes larger inhalable particles, while PM2.5 covers the finer fraction that can penetrate more deeply into the lungs.
