Air quality today
The air quality in Bourges today is classified as Good. The main pollutant identified is PM2.5 (fine particles). Measurements show a PM2.5 reference value of 3.1 and a PM10 reference value of 4.5, based on six valid observations collected via OpenAQ.
These values reflect the current monitoring results for the city. 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 Bourges air‑quality dataset contains measurements for five pollutants – nitrogen monoxide (NO), nitrogen dioxide (NO₂), ozone (O₃), particulate matter 10 µm or less (PM₁₀) and particulate matter 2.5 µm or less (PM₂.₅). The data come from three monitoring stations and a total of eleven recorded rows. Freshness varies by pollutant: the most recent NO₂, PM₁₀, O₃ and PM₂.5 values were all logged on 2026‑02‑10 at 15:00 UTC, while the latest NO reading dates back to 2024‑03‑11 at 09:00 UTC.
Across the recent entries, concentrations show a modest spread. For NO₂ the minimum recorded value is 4.3 µg/m³, the median sits at 6.3 µg/m³ and the maximum reaches 7.23 µg/m³; the 10th‑percentile is 4.7 µg/m³ and the 90th‑percentile 7.04 µg/m³. PM₁₀ values range from 4.5 to 25.7 µg/m³ with a median of 10.3 µg/m³, while O₃ spans 52.0–71.08 µg/m³ (median 61.54 µg/m³). PM₂.5 is represented by a single recent measurement of 3.1 µg/m³, and NO shows values between 4.0 and 5.7 µg/m³ (median 4.85 µg/m³).
The dataset is unevenly balanced: four pollutants have updates within the last three days, but NO data are over a year old, limiting insight into current nitrogen monoxide levels. Most rows (five) are recent, five are classified as “old” and none are unknown, indicating that while the majority of the information reflects current conditions, gaps remain for certain gases and for broader spatial coverage across the city.
