Data & method

PM2.5 comes from low-cost AirGradient monitors in Phnom Penh, published hourly by OpenAQ, with the US EPA correction for this sensor type. The city’s value is the median across its monitoring sites, so one faulty sensor can’t move it. Levels and AQI follow the US EPA’s PM2.5 breakpoints (2024 revision). Times are Cambodia time (UTC+7).
