Clean-air score
Good78/100
Solid air-quality score for a megacity, with health benchmarks still relevant.
Main exposure concern
PM2.5 and ozone
Dense urban activity keeps fine particles and ozone in the model.
Exposure modifier
Heat
Heat can amplify health risk and should be read alongside pollutant levels.
Tokyo 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 | 78 / 100 | Strong for scale, but health-guideline pressure remains. |
| Primary pollutant watch | PM2.5, ozone | Important for long-term exposure and hot-season risk. |
| Monitoring confidence | Good | The model assumes strong urban monitoring context. |
Explanation
The air-quality model gives large dense cities credit for governance while still penalizing exposure patterns that matter for health.
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.
