According to the monitoring data from the Consulate of the United States, there was on average 32.7 micrograms of PM2.5 particles per cubic meter to be found in the air in Shanghai during 2023. The air quality in Shanghai has improved significantly since 2013. However, air pollution increased again in 2023 compared to the previous year. This was most probably related to the lifting of all COVID-19 restrictions and transportation and production activities reaching pre-pandemic levels again.
