What the data includes
The current station data listed for this city is focused on particulate matter (PM). Only PM2.5 measurements are available, coming from three recorded rows that represent two monitoring stations in Carpinteria.
The most recent reading was taken on 2026-02-11 00:00 UTC and shows a concentration of 12.0 µg/m³ at the CarpPM sensor. Across the three rows, values range from a low of 7.0 µg/m³ to a high of 27.0 µg/m³, with the median also at 12.0 µg/m³; ten percent of observations are below 8.0 µg/m³ and ninety percent fall under 24.0 µg/m³. Freshness is mixed: one row was updated within the last seven days while two rows are classified as old, meaning they have not been refreshed recently. With only two stations contributing data, coverage is limited, so conditions can differ across neighborhoods and over time.
