The air quality in Bowie, Maryland is currently classified as Good. The primary pollutant measured today is PM2.5 (fine particles), with a reported concentration of 8.06 µg/m³ based on five valid observations.
Data is shown via OpenAQ and reflects the latest available readings for this 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 dataset for Bowie includes five measured pollutants – PM1, PM2.5, relative humidity, temperature and UM003 (particle count). All five variables come from a single monitoring row, so the city’s air‑quality picture is based on one sensor location rather than a network of stations. The most recent reading for each pollutant was recorded at 2026-02-10 12:00 UTC, which falls within the “updated within 7 days” freshness window, indicating that the data are currently up‑to‑date but only reflect conditions at one point in time.
Across the five pollutants the reported values are identical for their minimum, median and maximum, showing no observed variation in this snapshot. PM1 registers at 4.19616666369968 µg/m³, while PM2.5 is measured at 8.062055555979411 µg/m³. Relative humidity stands at 41.637444559733076 %, temperature is 6.208055435286627 °C and the UM003 particle concentration is 412.933831108941 particles/cm³. Because each metric has a single recorded value, there is no spread or percentile range to describe; the data set therefore provides a point estimate rather than a distribution of conditions.
The limited coverage means that spatial differences within Bowie cannot be captured, and any changes that occur after the last update will not be reflected until a new measurement is uploaded. Users should keep in mind that while the timestamps are recent, the snapshot represents only one location at a specific moment, so actual air‑quality conditions elsewhere in the city may differ.

Data notes
The data shown reflects five valid measurements and was updated within three days, with the most recent reading recorded at 2026‑02‑10T12:00:00+00:00. This snapshot provides a current view of Bowie’s air quality but should be interpreted as a brief overview; conditions can differ across neighborhoods and change throughout the day, so localized or later measurements may vary from what is presented here.
