Air quality today
The air quality in Borken today falls into the Good category according to the latest assessment. The main pollutant identified is PM2.5 (fine particles). Measurements show a PM2.5 reference value of 8.531 and a PM10 reference value of 11.44, based on four valid observations.
These figures are presented via OpenAQ data for Borken in North Rhine‑Westphalia, Germany. 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 Borken air‑quality record draws on a single monitoring site (six pollutant rows in total) that supplies data for nitrogen monoxide (NO), nitrogen dioxide (NO₂), ozone (O₃), particulate matter ≤10 µm (PM10), particulate matter ≤2.5 µm (PM2.5) and sulphur dioxide (SO₂). The dataset therefore covers the full set of common urban pollutants, but all values come from one location rather than a network of stations.
Freshness varies markedly across the series. The most recent measurements for NO₂, O₃, PM10 and PM2.5 were recorded on 2026‑02‑10 at 17:00 UTC, showing that four of the six parameters are updated within the last three days. In contrast, the NO reading dates back to 2024‑03‑11 at 11:00 UTC and the SO₂ value is from 2019‑01‑03 at 09:00 UTC, indicating older information for those two gases. Because only one station contributes data, any spatial differences within Borken are not captured.
The numeric spread is very narrow: each pollutant shows a single reported figure that also serves as its minimum, median and maximum. NO sits at 1.035 µg/m³, NO₂ at 25.228 µg/m³, O₃ at 22.757 µg/m³, PM10 at 11.44 µg/m³, PM2.5 at 8.531 µg/m³ and SO₂ at 0.15 µg/m³. This lack of variability suggests that the current snapshot reflects a momentary condition rather than a range of observed values over time.
Overall, Borken’s public air‑quality feed provides recent data for most pollutants but relies on a single monitoring point and includes older entries for NO and SO₂. Consequently, while the dataset gives an up‑to‑date picture of several key contaminants, it does not represent citywide variations that may occur at different locations or times.

Data notes
The data shown for Borken are based on four valid measurements and have been updated within 3 days, with the latest refresh recorded at 2026‑02‑10T17:00:00+00:00. These figures represent a snapshot of conditions across the city; air quality can differ by specific location and time of day, so values may vary locally even though the overall dataset is current and reliable.
