Abstract
Air pollution is a serious problem affecting public health and nature, for that reason, it is important to know the pollution levels that are handled in each zone, to be able to control the emissions of pollutants. Due to the great interest, there are air monitoring stations in 3000 cities and towns, and the World Air Quality Index concentrates this information. This study analyzes the case of New York, Mexico City, Madrid, Moscow and Shanghai. Observing that the highest rates of pollution are found in Shanghai, according to the Average AQI, but the most polluted city in particulate matter is Madrid.
