Parisian air quality - first week of December 2016

This statistic shows the quality of the air in Paris during the first week of December, from 2013 to 2016, according to the Citeair Index. During the first week of December 2016, it was widely reported that abnormal weather conditions resulted in unusually still air, trapping pollutants in the region. As a result, the city moved to make public transport temporarily free of charge and restricted the use of passenger vehicles.

Supplementary notes

The Citeair Index indicates the quality of air based on the amount of pollutants carried in the air, including nitrogen dioxide, ozone, and particle matter (PM10). A lower score means cleaner air. The region displayed in this statistic is known as the Paris agglomeration. The scale can be interpreted as follows:

- 0 - 25 is very low
- 25 - 50 is low
- 50 - 75 is medium
- 75 - >100 is high
- Any value higher than 100 is very high.
