Air quality today

The air quality today in Bernalillo County, New Mexico is classified as Good. The primary pollutant measured is PM2.5 (fine particles). According to the latest data shown via OpenAQ, the PM2.5 reference value is 3.8 µg/m³ and the PM10 reference value is 34.0 µg/m³, based on six valid measurements.

These values reflect the current monitoring snapshot for the area. This page is informational; for health guidance, use official sources such as EPA AirNow or WHO.

What the data includes

The dataset for Bernalillo County draws from eleven recent observations collected at five monitoring locations, all of which were last updated on 2026‑02‑10 23:00 UTC and are therefore fresh enough to be considered current (within the past seven days). Sixteen pollutant measurements are available across the site’s sensor rows: carbon monoxide (CO), nitric oxide (NO), nitrogen dioxide (NO₂), total oxides of nitrogen (NOX), ozone (O₃), fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and coarse particulate matter (PM10).

For PM2.5, five readings show a median concentration of 3.8 µg/m³ with values ranging from a minimum of 0.0 to a maximum of 6.18 µg/m³; the 10th‑percentile sits at about 1.05 and the 90th‑percentile near 5.24, indicating modest variability around a low central tendency. CO is reported as a single value of 0.1 ppm, identical across its minimum, median and maximum, reflecting no observed spread in this pollutant. NO registers a negative reading of –0.0007 ppm (the only recorded figure), while NO₂, NOX and O₃ each appear once with values of 0.0037 ppm, 0.002 ppm and 0.038 ppm respectively; all share the same min‑med‑max pattern, showing no range in the limited data. PM10 also has a single observation at 34.0 µg/m³, again without variation.

Overall, the coverage is uneven: while particulate matter (both PM2.5 and PM10) benefits from multiple rows, gases such as NO, NO₂, NOX and O₃ are represented by only one measurement each, limiting insight into their temporal fluctuations. The uniform freshness of the timestamps means the data reflect conditions on a single recent day rather than ongoing trends, so actual air quality in Bernalillo County may differ across neighborhoods and times not captured here.
