What the data includes
The current station data listed for this city is focused on particulate matter (PM). Only one pollutant, PM2.5, is available from the OpenAQ feed for Albany, New York, and it comes from a single monitoring row. The measurement recorded is 10.9 µg/m³, with the minimum, median and maximum all equal to that value, indicating no observed variation in this dataset. The latest reading was taken on 2026-02-10 23:00 UTC, which places it within the past seven days and therefore relatively fresh.
Because there is just one station entry, coverage across the city is limited; the data does not capture spatial differences that may exist elsewhere in Albany. With only a single observation, statistical spread cannot be assessed beyond the single reported figure. The freshness of the timestamp suggests the reading reflects recent conditions, but the lack of additional rows means any changes over time or across neighborhoods are not represented here.
