Air quality today

The air quality in Akron today is classified as USG. The primary pollutant identified is PM2.5 (fine particles). Measurements show a PM2.5 concentration of 53.94 µg/m³ and a PM10 level of 37.0 µg/m³, based on eight valid observations.

What the data includes

The Akron air‑quality dataset currently includes eight measured variables – ozone (O₃), fine particulate matter (PM2.5), coarse particles (PM10), ultrafine particles (PM1), sulfur dioxide (SO₂), relative humidity, temperature and particle count (UM003). Data come from three monitoring stations that together contributed eleven rows of observations. The most recent measurements are all from early February 2026, with the latest timestamps recorded on 2026‑02‑11 00:00 UTC for PM2.5, PM1, relative humidity, temperature and UM003, and on 2026‑02‑10 23:00 UTC for PM10 and SO₂. Ozone is an outlier, its only entry dating back to 2018‑10‑13 21:00 UTC, so that pollutant’s information is considerably older than the rest.

Across the recent data the range of values varies markedly. PM2.5 spans from a low of 11.7 µg/m³ up to a high of 53.94 µg/m³, with a median near 30.8 µg/m³, indicating that typical concentrations sit in the middle of a fairly wide spread. PM10 shows a narrower band, ranging from about 3.1 µg/m³ to 37 µg/m³ and a median of roughly 20 µg/m³. By contrast, PM1, relative humidity, temperature and UM003 each have a single reported value – 32.56 µg/m³, 58.55 %, 9.04 °C and 5 894 particles/cm³ respectively – because only one recent row is available for those parameters.

Overall the dataset provides fresh coverage for most pollutants, but the limited number of stations means spatial detail is coarse and the single‑point values do not capture variability across the city. The old ozone record further highlights uneven temporal coverage, so while the numbers give a snapshot of current conditions, they may not reflect short‑term fluctuations that can occur in different neighborhoods or at other times of day.

Data notes

The data shown for Akron, Ohio reflects eight valid measurements and was updated today (2026‑02‑11T00:00:00+00:00). These readings provide a snapshot of current conditions, but air quality can differ across neighborhoods and change throughout the day. Consequently, the values represent an approximate overview rather than precise, location‑specific information for every part of the city.
