Average PM2.5 concentrations in European cities vary by month, with the highest concentrations typically recorded in the winter months. In January 2023, the average PM2.5 concentration in Athens was 26.9 micrograms per cubic meter of air (μg/m³) – far higher than in many other major European cities that month. Levels fell in the following months, dropping to 13.4 μg/m³ by April 2023. Still, this was roughly double the PM2.5 concentration recorded in Madrid that same month.
