Philippines air quality today The AQI right now, city by city

Right now the 100 cities Airleaf measures in the Philippines average AQI 37 (good). The worst air is in Pandi, at AQI 79, and the cleanest in Calamba, at AQI 6. At ground stations alone, which measure rather than estimate, the average is AQI 42 across 33 cities. 1% of the 100 measured cities are over AQI 100 today, where the air stops being fine for sensitive groups, and 70% have Good air.

Pandi, at AQI 79 (Moderate) on the US EPA index. Unusually sensitive people should consider limiting long outdoor exertion.

Calamba, at AQI 6 (Good). Both lists rank current readings, from ground stations wherever the Philippines has at least three cities with one.

It depends on the city. 70 cities are Good, 29 cities are Moderate, 1 city is Unhealthy for sensitive groups. At the national average of AQI 37: Air quality is satisfactory for everyone.

About 1.53 million ha from 2001 to 2025, 8% of the forest it had in 2000, from the University of Maryland's yearly satellite maps of forest loss. 939,000 ha of it was cleared for good, for farms, mines or towns.

Catbalogan, with 74.4% tree cover within 2 km of its center, measured from Sentinel-2 satellite images.

Each city's reading is the US EPA air quality index, from ground monitoring stations where one has reported recently nearby, and from the CAMS atmospheric model elsewhere; each city's report says which. Tree cover is measured over the same 2 km radius in every city, so the cities compare like for like.
