Latest sensor values
PM categories follow US EPA AQI breakpoints, shown here as an estimate derived from the latest valid measurements (this project does not compute EPA NowCast/24-hour AQI yet).
What the data includes
Altenburg’s public air‑quality feed draws from a single monitoring site that records five separate pollutant rows – one each for nitrogen monoxide (NO), nitrogen dioxide (NO₂), ozone (O₃), particulate matter 10 µm or less (PM10) and particulate matter 2.5 µm or less (PM2.5). The dataset therefore contains five individual measurements, all taken at the same location on Altenburg Theaterplatz.
The most recent data points are from 2026‑02‑10 17:00 UTC for NO₂, O₃, PM10 and PM2.5, indicating that four of the five pollutants have been updated within the last three days. The NO value is older, recorded on 2024‑03‑11 11:00 UTC, so it reflects a snapshot from almost two years ago. Because only one station contributes data, the overall freshness of the city’s picture depends heavily on these timestamps; the newest timestamp across the whole set is 2026‑02‑10 17:00 UTC.
All five pollutants show a single recorded value with no observed spread: NO sits at 3.18415689 µg/m³, NO₂ at 18.9071674 µg/m³, O₃ at 46.2289047 µg/m³, PM10 at 15.9044943 µg/m³ and PM2.5 at 10.1659851 µg/m³. Because each metric has identical minimum, median and maximum figures, the dataset does not reveal variability over time or across locations within Altenburg. Consequently, while the recent updates for most pollutants suggest timely reporting, the limited station coverage and lack of historical depth mean that conditions can differ elsewhere in the city or change between measurement moments.
