Abstract

In the past few years, the problems of urban air pollution became increasingly serious in many countries. In this paper, the comparison and analysis of air quality between developed and developing countries, such as Korea, China, and Thailand, were proposed. In detail, the state of air quality, state of air quality monitoring stations, the standards of air quality, and air quality index classification in the three countries were analyzed. China had 1426 air quality monitoring stations, the most of among the three countries. It was concluded that particle pollution especially PM2.5 and ozone pollution became the main pollution in the three countries. In comparison with the other two countries air quality standard, the first grade of air quality standard in China was the most rigorous. However, the second grade in China was lower than the ones of other two countries. The air quality standards of PM2.5 in Korea and Thailand were merely same. Meanwhile, the standards of ozone and PM10, in Korea were tougher than the ones in Thailand. In terms of air quality index, China had a more delicate air quality index classification than the other two countries.
