Quick answer

What does Cities with cleanest air in Sweden show?

Boden, Sweden has the lowest pm2.5 — annual mean of the 30 cities compared: 3.27 µg/m³ (Official SMHI 2023 national model values are derived from exact-kommun receptor/grid features., 2023).

How this list is built

Every row is a published pm2.5 — annual mean observation measured in µg/m³, ranked lowest first. The values were observed between 2023 and 2024. A place appears only when it publishes this exact metric, so an absent place means missing data rather than a low value. Only published cities with at least 20,000 residents and city-level observations qualify.

  • Compare the displayed value, unit, source date and geographic grain together.
  • A city label does not change a regional observation into a city measurement.
