Air quality today
The air quality today in Area F (West Howe Sound) is rated Good. The primary pollutant identified is PM2.5, with a measured concentration of 3.7 µg/m³ based on four valid observations.
Data are shown via OpenAQ and reflect the current monitoring results for this location. This page is informational; for health guidance, use official sources such as EPA AirNow or WHO.
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
The air‑quality record for Area F (West Howe Sound) draws from a single monitoring location – Langdale Elementary – which supplies one row of data for each of the five measured pollutants: nitrogen monoxide (NO), nitrogen dioxide (NO₂), particulate matter ≤10 µm (PM₁₀), particulate matter ≤2.5 µm (PM₂.₅) and sulfur dioxide (SO₂). Because only one station contributes, the dataset does not capture spatial variation across the city; conditions can differ in other neighbourhoods.
All of the recent readings were taken on 2026‑02‑10 at 22:00 UTC for NO, NO₂, PM₂.₅ and SO₂, showing a very tight spread – each pollutant’s minimum, median and maximum values are identical (NO 0.0275 ppm, NO₂ 0.0122 ppm, PM₂.₅ 3.7 µg/m³, SO₂ 0.0009 ppm). The only older entry is the PM₁₀ measurement, recorded on 2016‑11‑24 at 01:00 UTC with a single value of 4.0 µg/m³; there are no recent PM₁₀ data to compare against current conditions.
Because each pollutant has just one reported figure, the dataset lacks any range or variability beyond that single point. The freshness of the data is therefore uneven: four pollutants have updates within the last three days, while PM₁₀ remains over a decade old. This imbalance means that while the most recent snapshot gives a clear picture of the current levels for gases and fine particles, it cannot describe how larger particulate matter may be changing over time in Area F. Users should keep in mind that the single‑station coverage provides only a limited view of overall city air quality.

Data notes
The current dataset for Area F (West Howe Sound) includes four valid measurements and was updated within three days, with the latest refresh recorded at 2026‑02‑10 22:00 UTC. This snapshot reflects conditions at a single point in time; air quality can vary across different locations and moments throughout the city, so values may differ from what you experience locally.
