Xinjiang / 15% / 2012* / 27.28 / 23.19

*: Due to the lack of PM2.5 mean annual concentration data in 2012, we set mean annual concentration in 2011 instead of PM2.5 concentration in 2012 to the administrative region whose base year was 2012.

**: For the administrative region which set 2013 as the base year, we made the mean annual concentration according to the ranking of 74 cities in PM2.5 concentration which was proposed by Greenpeace. We set the average concentration of the cities in the same administrative region as PM2.5 mean annual concentration.
