Air quality today

The air quality in Albuquerque today is classified as Good. The primary pollutant measured is PM2.5 (fine particles). Recent observations show a PM2.5 concentration of 3.4 µg/m³ and a PM10 level of 20.0 µg/m³, based on 26 valid measurements reported through OpenAQ.

These values reflect the current monitoring snapshot for the city. This page is informational; for health guidance, use official sources such as EPA AirNow or WHO.

What the data includes

The OpenAQ feed for Albuquerque includes measurements of carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxide, nitrogen dioxide, total oxides of nitrogen, ozone, sulfur dioxide, as well as fine and coarse particulate matter (PM1, PM2.5, PM10) together with relative humidity and temperature. In total the dataset contains 28 rows drawn from 11 distinct monitoring sites. Freshness varies by pollutant: the most recent values for PM2.5, PM10 and ozone were recorded on 2026-02-11 00:00 UTC, while carbon monoxide, NO, NO₂, NOX and SO₂ all have their latest readings from 2026-02-10 23:00 UTC. Twenty‑six of the rows are dated within the last seven days; two rows lack a timestamp, so they are classified as unknown.

Particulate matter enjoys the broadest coverage, with 11 recent PM2.5 observations and five for PM10. The median PM2.5 concentration is 5.95 µg/m³, ranging from a low of 2.1 to a high of about 13 µg/m³; the 10th‑percentile sits near 2.8 µg/m³ and the 90th‑percentile close to 10.3 µg/m³. PM10 shows a median of 16 µg/m³, spanning 8 to 22 µg/m³, with most values clustered between roughly 9.2 and 21.2 µg/m³. In contrast, the gaseous pollutants each come from a single station, so their data set is much smaller: CO is consistently reported at 0.1 ppm, NO at 0.0004 ppm, NO₂ and NOX both at 0.002 ppm, O₃ at 0.038–0.047 ppm, and SO₂ at 0.0001 ppm.

Because the sensor network is uneven—many rows for particulates but only one row each for most gases—the picture of Albuquerque’s air quality is more detailed for particles than for gases. The overall data are fairly recent, with the newest timestamps within a day of each other, yet the two unknown‑timestamp entries remind users that conditions can differ across neighborhoods and times not captured by the current sample.

Data notes

The dataset for Albuquerque includes 26 valid measurements and was Updated today (last refreshed on 2026‑02‑11T00:00:00+00:00). These values represent a snapshot of conditions across the monitoring network at that time. Keep in mind that air quality can vary by location and moment within the city, so individual experiences may differ from the reported figures.
