Air quality today

The air quality in Alicante today is classified as Good. The primary pollutant identified is PM2.5 (fine particles).

Measurements show a PM2.5 reference value of 2.0 µg/m³ and a PM10 reference value of 2.0 µg/m³, based on 13 valid observations collected via OpenAQ. This page is informational; for health guidance, use official sources such as EPA AirNow or WHO.

What the data includes

The dataset for Alicante includes measurements of carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen oxide (NO), nitrogen dioxide (NO₂), ozone (O₃), particulate matter ≤ 10 µm (PM10), particulate matter ≤ 2.5 µm (PM2.5) and sulphur dioxide (SO₂). In total there are 16 rows of data coming from three monitoring stations, but the coverage is uneven: CO, NO, NO₂, O₃ and SO₂ each have three recent records, while PM10 and PM2.5 are represented by a single row each, and CO only has two rows.

The most up‑to‑date observations were recorded on 2026-02-09 at 15:00 UTC for all pollutants except NO, whose latest entry dates back to 2024-01-16 at 22:00 UTC. This means that for five of the seven substances the freshest data is less than a day old, whereas NO information is over two years old and therefore may not reflect current conditions.

Across the recent records the measured values show limited variability. For NO the three readings range from 4 to 11 µg/m³ with a median of 8 µg/m³; NO₂ spans 1–9 µg/m³ (median 6); O₃ is tightly clustered between 70 and 81 µg/m³ (median 79); SO₂ varies only from 3 to 4 µg/m³ (median 3). CO is constant at 100 µg/m³ in its two entries, while both PM10 and PM2.5 are recorded as a single value of 2 µg/m³ each.

Because the number of rows differs markedly between pollutants and some data points are older, the picture presented here captures only a snapshot for certain locations and times. Conditions can therefore differ across other parts of Alicante or at moments not covered by the latest measurements.
