Air quality today
The air quality in Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole is currently classified as Good. The primary pollutant measured today is PM2.5 (fine particles).
Measurements from five valid monitoring points show a PM2.5 concentration of 6.0 µg/m³. No PM10 value is available for this assessment. Data is shown via OpenAQ. 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 Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole dataset currently includes three measured pollutants: nitrogen dioxide (NO₂), fine particulate matter (PM₂.5) and ozone (O₃). Across the whole city there are five data rows in total, but only two distinct monitoring stations contribute to these records. The most recent update for each pollutant was received on 2026-02-10 20:00 UTC, meaning that all values shown are no older than seven days.
For NO₂ the recorded values range from a minimum of 8 µg/m³ to a maximum of 10 µg/m³, with a median of 9 µg/m³ and the 10th‑percentile at 8.2 µg/m³ and the 90th‑percentile at 9.8 µg/m³. PM₂.5 shows a tighter spread: values sit between 5 µg/m³ and 6 µg/m³, median 5.5 µg/m³, with the 10th‑percentile at 5.1 µg/m³ and the 90th‑percentile at 5.9 µg/m³. Ozone is represented by a single reading of 58 µg/m³, which also serves as its minimum, median and maximum.
The coverage is uneven across pollutants: NO₂ and PM₂.5 each have two rows of data, while O₃ is captured in only one row. This limited number of stations means the dataset reflects conditions at a few specific locations rather than city‑wide averages. Although all measurements are recent, the small sample size suggests that air quality can differ across neighbourhoods and times not captured here. Users should keep in mind that these figures provide a snapshot from the available monitoring points on 2026-02-10.
