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 dataset for Béthune includes five measured pollutants – 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). All of them come from a single monitoring location, Bethune Stade, so the station count is one row per pollutant. The most recent measurements are very fresh: NO was recorded on 2024‑03‑11 09:00 UTC, while NO₂, O₃, PM₁₀ and PM₂.₅ were all logged on 2026‑02‑10 15:00 UTC, each within the last three days of the data pull.
Because there is only one reporting site, every pollutant shows a single value that also serves as its minimum, median and maximum for the period covered. NO registers at 0.7 µg/m³, NO₂ at 13.8 µg/m³, O₃ at 70.3 µg/m³, PM₁₀ at 5.2 µg/m³ and PM₂.₅ at 3.4 µg/m³. The lack of variation means the dataset cannot illustrate any spread or temporal trends for Béthune; each pollutant’s distribution is effectively a point estimate.
Overall the data are up‑to‑date but limited in spatial coverage, reflecting conditions only at Bethune Stade. While the timestamps indicate recent sampling, the single‑station setup means that city‑wide air quality may differ across neighborhoods and times not captured here. Users should keep in mind that these figures represent a snapshot from one location rather than a comprehensive view of Béthune’s atmospheric environment.
