The weather quality throughout the world is becoming increasingly worse. The 2025 World Air Quality Report released by the Swiss air quality measurement company IQAir shows that the clean air is now difficult to reach for many countries. According to the report based on the data of more than 143 countries and 9 thousand cities, only 13 countries can meet the limits of the safe air quality set by the World Health Organization. This means that the air pollution in 91 percent of the reviewed countries is unhealthy.

] Large part of the cities under risk
According to the report, only 14 percent of the cities around the world can be safely left. This rate was 17 percent per previous year. This drop shows that air pollution continues to increase in global scale. Fine particles called PM2,5 can be mixed into the bloodstream by reaching the depths of the lungs. This condition is associated with respiratory diseases, heart-damar diseases and some types of cancer. [

The table changes in Europe
] Only in Europe, Andorra, Estonia and Iceland can meet secure air limits. In many countries, air pollution increases. The use of forest fires, powders and fossil fuels carried out from the Sahara are among the main causes of this increase.

The attack is effective
Increased temperatures, drought and extreme weather events directly affect air quality. Large fires and hot air waves in 2025 were the main reason for air pollution in many regions. There are still important spaces in air quality data worldwide. Because there is not enough measurement system in many regions, the actual size of pollution is not fully detected. The first step to improve air quality according to experts, collect accurate and common data. Clean air is now away from being an accessible source for many people. Air pollution is not only an environmental problem, but also a global risk of health.
