Air quality today

The air quality today in Amsterdam is classified as USG. The primary pollutant identified is PM2.5, with a measured concentration of 38.57 µg/m³. For comparison, the reference value for PM10 on this assessment is 17.0 µg/m³.

A total of 45 valid measurements contributed to this evaluation. These figures are presented through OpenAQ data. This page is informational; for health guidance, use official sources such as EPA AirNow or WHO.

What the data includes

The dataset for Amsterdam pulls in measurements from fifteen monitoring rows covering a range of common air‑quality variables. Available pollutants include carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen oxide (NO), nitrogen dioxide (NO₂), ozone (O₃), particulate matter of three size fractions (PM1, PM2.5 and PM10), relative humidity, sulfur dioxide (SO₂), temperature and the particle count metric UM003.

Most of the recent values were recorded on 2026‑02‑10, with timestamps ranging from 21:00 to 22:00 UTC depending on the parameter. The only exception is NO, whose latest entry dates back to 2024‑03‑25 22:00 UTC and reports a placeholder value of –999 µg/m³, indicating that current NO data are not available. For the other pollutants the freshest observations are all within the last few days, meaning the snapshot reflects near‑real‑time conditions for those substances.

Looking at the numbers, NO₂ shows a relatively tight distribution: values span 25.3 to 37.9 µg/m³ with a median of 31.95 µg/m³ and the 10th–90th percentile band from about 27 to 36.7 µg/m³. Particulate matter follows a similar pattern; PM2.5 ranges from 10.0 to 65.7 µg/m³ (median 13 µg/m³), while PM10 varies between 12.6 and 58.6 µg/m³ (median 15 µg/m³). The coarser particles (PM1) are higher on average, from roughly 20 to 39 µg/m³ with a median near 22 µg/m³. Temperature readings cluster between 7.1 °C and 12.5 °C (median 11.6 °C), and relative humidity stays in the high‑50s to low‑70s percent range, centering around 71 %. The UM003 particle count shows a broad spread from about 1 000 to 3 800 particles per cm³, with a median near 2 800.

Because the dataset contains fifteen rows but only one station supplies NO data (and that data is outdated), coverage is uneven across pollutants. Users should keep in mind that conditions can differ between locations such as Amsterdam‑Van Diemenstraat and the city centre, and that the snapshot reflects the most recent measurements available for each parameter.

Data notes

The dataset for Amsterdam includes 45 valid measurements and is updated within 3 days, with the most recent values recorded on 2026‑02‑10T22:00:00+00:00. These figures represent a snapshot of conditions across the city; air quality can differ by neighbourhood and time of day, so individual experiences may vary from the reported averages.
