The inhabitants of cities, towns, and villages are exposed to different levels of air pollution, which also vary throughout the day. Information regarding episodes of poor and good air quality enables planning to mitigate the risks and maximize the benefits of spending time outdoors. In this work, an analysis was made of the state of air quality 2012-2016, using data gathered from automatic measuring stations located in five cities (&gt; 50,000 inhabitants), five towns (5000-50,000 inhabitants), and five villages (&lt; 5000 inhabitants) in five neighboring provinces in central Poland, in Central Europe. The monitoring stations were designated as "city background", "town background", and "rural background". More than 3 million pieces of data were collected from 15 monitoring stations. This allowed the average daily changes in the concentration of air pollutants (NO 2 and NO x , O 3 , SO 2 , CO, PM 10 , PM 2.5 , C 6 H 6 ) to be determined, depending on the type of station and the size of the settlement unit in both winter periods and summer periods. As a result, the most and least favorable hours in terms of levels of air pollution were identified. This information could help to inform air quality management in modern cities, towns, and villages and to improve the quality of life, particularly among those most susceptible to the negative effects of air pollution, such as the elderly and children.
