This needs more work as there are at least three problems:
- List entries don't count for word count and so a DYK check just gives 646 characters. More prose in the lead would help fix this.
- The list focusses on particulates but there are other kinds of air pollution such as nitrogen dioxide for which London is a leading city.
- The hooks generalise even more by talking loosely of pollution, rather specific types of air pollution.
- I do not have anything additional to add to the lead.
- I have moved the article to List of most polluted cities in the world by particulate matter concentration.
- I have adjusted the hooks above.
- @Andrew Davidson: Thanks for the review. — Ganeshk (talk) 04:14, 13 January 2016 (UTC)
