Air quality today
The air quality today in Burlington, Vermont is classified as USG. The primary pollutant identified for this assessment is PM2.5 (fine particles).
Measurements from OpenAQ show a PM2.5 concentration of 41.11 µg/m³ based on fifteen valid observations. This reflects the current level reported for the city at the time of sampling. 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 Burlington air‑quality dataset contains measurements for four key pollutants: carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen dioxide (NO₂), particulate matter 10 µm or smaller (PM₁₀) and particulate matter 2.5 µm or smaller (PM₂.₅). All data come from a single monitoring station, giving a total of four rows in the record set. The most recent values for the gases are from 2022‑01‑03 19:00 UTC, while the particle measurements were last updated on 2024‑02‑05 00:00 UTC, indicating that the particulate data are considerably fresher than the gas data.
For CO the only reported value is 0.3 ppm and for NO₂ it is 0.005 ppm; both pollutants show identical minimum, median and maximum figures because each has a single observation. The particle metrics each have one reading as well: PM₁₀ consistently registers at 24.0 µg/m³ and PM₂.₅ at 8.5 µg/m³, again with no variation across the dataset. Because every pollutant column contains exactly one row, there is no spread or percentile range to describe—each metric’s reported figure is both its minimum and its maximum.
The overall picture is that Burlington’s publicly available air‑quality data are limited in scope: only one monitoring location contributes, and for three of the four pollutants the latest observations are more than two years old. This means that while the dataset does provide a snapshot of typical concentrations at that site, it cannot capture day‑to‑day changes or spatial differences across the city. Users should keep in mind that conditions elsewhere in Burlington may differ from those recorded at this single point and that the gas measurements do not reflect recent atmospheric variations.

Data notes
The data shown reflects fifteen valid measurements and is updated within three days, with the most recent reading recorded on 2026‑02‑10 at 22:00 UTC. This snapshot provides a current view of Burlington’s air quality but conditions can differ across neighborhoods and change throughout the day, so local variations may not be captured in these figures.
