In order to satisfy the minimum requirements for this category, data must be available for the following pollutants and meet the following minimum criteria:

• Particulate matter (PM) Levels
• Sulphur oxides (SOx)
• Nitrogen oxides (NOx)
• Volatile organic compounds (VOCs)
• Carbon monoxide (CO)
• Updated on at least once a week.
• Measured either at a national level by regions or at leasts in 3 big cities.

Details

The China National Environment Monitoring Center is responsible for gathering and publishing the national-wide air pollutant emission data. Currently All major cities have own monitoring sites and the data are collected and published by the center. Data collected include:

Particulate matter (PM) Levels Sulphur oxides (SOx) Nitrogen oxides (NOx) Carbon monoxide (CO)

The data is updated several times per day. No VOC data is available though.
