Air quality today
The air quality in the Borough of Blackpool is currently classified as Moderate. The main pollutant identified is PM2.5 (fine particles). Measurements show a PM2.5 reference value of 10.0 and a PM10 reference value of 12.0, based on four valid observations.
These figures are presented through OpenAQ data for the specified location. 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 air‑quality record for the Borough of Blackpool currently draws on a single monitoring site, identified as Blackpool Marton – UKA00488. This station supplies data for four pollutants: nitrogen dioxide (NO₂), ozone (O₃), particulate matter ≤ 10 µm (PM10) and particulate matter ≤ 2.5 µm (PM2.5). All of the most recent readings were uploaded on 2026‑02‑10 at 20:00 UTC, which falls within the “updated within seven days” freshness category used by OpenAQ.
For each pollutant the dataset shows a single value that also serves as the minimum, median and maximum for the period covered. NO₂ and O₃ are both reported at 19.0 µg/m³, while PM10 is measured at 12.0 µg/m³ and PM2.5 at 10.0 µg/m³. Because there is only one observation per pollutant, the statistical spread (p10 to p90) collapses to that same figure, indicating no variation in the recorded values for this snapshot.
The limited coverage—just one monitoring row—means the picture presented reflects conditions at a specific location and moment rather than city‑wide trends. While the timestamps are recent, the absence of additional stations or older records restricts insight into how air quality may differ across Blackpool’s neighborhoods or change over time. Users should keep in mind that actual concentrations can vary elsewhere in the borough, and future updates with more sites will provide a broader view of local atmospheric conditions.

Data notes
The dataset for the Borough of Blackpool includes four valid measurements and is updated within three days, with the most recent refresh on 10 February 2026 at 20:00 UTC. These figures represent a snapshot of current conditions; air quality can differ across neighbourhoods and change throughout the day, so local variations may not be captured in this summary.
