Copenhagen air quality data table
This HTML table mirrors the visible score cards so important comparison data is never trapped in a browser-only chart.
| Metric | Value | Context |
|---|---|---|
| Clean-air score | 88 / 100 | Strong performance against health-oriented benchmarks. |
| Primary pollutant watch | PM2.5 | Fine particles are weighted because of long-term health evidence. |
| Monitoring confidence | High | European monitoring context improves comparability. |
Explanation
Air-quality scoring prioritizes human health. PM2.5, PM10, nitrogen dioxide, and ozone are interpreted against WHO guidance and regional monitoring context.
Read this module with the main city profile because single-topic pages can miss tradeoffs. A city with a high energy score can still have housing pressure, and a city with strong opportunity can still carry health exposure risk.
