  Other cities


    
     It is said that the air between Taichung and Kaohsiung is the worst two counties and cities in Taiwan, so they are often compared. Who is the worst?
     The answer is Kaohsiung. According to a report from a future city in 2019, although Taichung Air has been suffering from fouling, when Taichung City Mayor Lu Xiuyan took office, he also spent 300,000 gifts to the public "Guanguan Air" to declare his determination. In fact, the average PM2.5 concentration in Taichung last year was only 19.2 µg / m³, ranking the 11th in the whole Taiwan, and in the middle. Compared with 20.3 µg / m³ in 2017, air quality also improved slightly.

     In contrast, Kaohsiung, the average PM2.5 concentration in Kaohsiung is 24.4µg / m³, which is the "top spot" in Taiwan. As for the best air in Taiwan, it is Hualien in the east. Hualien is the cleanest air city in Taiwan, ranking 2282 in the world.
