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

Right now the 95 cities Airleaf measures in Turkey average AQI 94 (moderate). The worst air is in Konya, at AQI 180, and the cleanest in Rize, at AQI 20. At ground stations alone, which measure rather than estimate, the average is AQI 90 across 68 cities. 25% of the 95 measured cities are over AQI 100 today, where the air stops being fine for sensitive groups, and 2% have Good air.

Konya, at AQI 180 (Unhealthy) on the US EPA index. Everyone should limit long outdoor exertion; sensitive groups more so.

Rize, at AQI 20 (Good). Both lists rank current readings, from ground stations wherever Turkey has at least three cities with one.

It depends on the city. 2 cities are Good, 69 cities are Moderate, 14 cities are Unhealthy for sensitive groups, 10 cities are Unhealthy. At the national average of AQI 94: Unusually sensitive people should consider limiting long outdoor exertion.

About 843,000 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. 88,400 ha of it was cleared for good, for farms, mines or towns.

Rize, with 68.5% 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.
