Air quality today

The air quality in Baghdad today is classified as Moderate. The primary pollutant identified is PM2.5, which refers to fine particulate matter measured in the atmosphere.

What the data includes

The current station data listed for this city is focused on particulate matter (PM). Only PM2.5 measurements are available, coming from three monitoring rows that together represent the sensor network in Baghdad Governorate. One of those rows has been updated within the last three days, while the other two are classified as old, meaning their most recent readings date back beyond a month.

The median PM2.5 value reported across the active rows is 31.74 µg/m³, with the highest recorded figure at 33 µg/m³. The minimum reading shown is an invalid placeholder (‑999 µg/m³), so the practical observed range sits roughly between 31.7 and 33 µg/m³. Because only a single recent observation exists, the dataset provides limited insight into short‑term fluctuations; conditions can differ across neighborhoods and over time. Overall, Baghdad’s publicly available air‑quality data is narrow in scope—covering just one pollutant with modest station coverage and mixed freshness of measurements.
