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 Boom contains a single monitoring station (row 1) that reports three pollutants: nitrogen dioxide (NO2), particulate matter up to 10 µm (PM10) and fine particulate matter up to 2.5 µm (PM2.5). The NO2 measurement is the oldest in the set, recorded on 2021‑01‑11 01:00 UTC, while both PM10 and PM2.5 were last updated on 2026‑02‑10 17:00 UTC, showing that the particulate data are fresh within the past three days whereas the nitrogen dioxide reading is several years old.
All three pollutants have a single reported value, which also serves as their minimum, median and maximum for the available period. NO2 is consistently measured at 26.5 µg/m³, PM10 at 10.3 µg/m³ and PM2.5 at 3.88575 µg/m³. Because there is only one observation per pollutant, the spread (p10‑p90) is zero, indicating no variability in the recorded data set.
The coverage is therefore limited to one location and a very small number of timestamps, especially for NO2 where the most recent reading dates back to 2021. While the particulate measurements give a current snapshot of air quality at the station, the nitrogen dioxide figure reflects historical conditions rather than present‑day levels. Consequently, city‑wide conditions may differ across neighborhoods or times that are not captured by this single‑station record.

Data notes
The data shown for Boom reflects two valid measurements and was refreshed within three days, with the latest update recorded at 2026‑02‑10 17:00 UTC. While this snapshot provides a current view of city‑wide air quality, conditions can differ across neighborhoods and change throughout the day, so local variations may not be captured in these figures.
