Air quality today
The air quality in Bécancour is currently classified as Moderate. The primary pollutant identified is PM2.5 (fine particles).
Measurements show a PM2.5 value of 10.7 µg/m³ based on two valid observations reported through OpenAQ. This reflects the latest available data for the city. 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 Bécancour includes two measured pollutants: ozone (O₃) and fine particulate matter (PM2.5). Both are reported from a single monitoring station, giving one data row per pollutant. The most recent observations were recorded on 2026-02-10 at 22:00 UTC, which falls within the “updated within three days” freshness window, so the dataset reflects very current conditions for this location.
For ozone, the only value available is 0.023 ppm, and because there is just one measurement the minimum, median, maximum and the 10th‑ and 90th‑percentile figures are all identical. The same pattern holds for PM2.5, where the single reading is 10.7 µg/m³ and again the statistical spread collapses to a single point. Consequently, there is no observable variability or range for either pollutant in the present data set.
Because the coverage consists of just one station, the information captures air quality at only that specific site within Bécancour. While the timestamps are fresh, the lack of additional rows means spatial and temporal variation across the city cannot be assessed from these figures alone. Users should keep in mind that conditions may differ elsewhere or change over time, even though the current snapshot is up‑to‑date for the monitored point.

Data notes
The dataset for Bécancour includes two valid measurements and is updated within 3 days, with the most recent values recorded on 2026‑02‑10 at 22:00 UTC. These figures provide a snapshot of current conditions but air quality can differ across neighborhoods and change throughout the day, so local variations may not be fully captured by this limited sample.
