This friendly indicator summarizes the latest city readings. For health guidance, please see: EPA AirNow or WHO.
Air quality today
The air quality today in Colorado Springs is classified as Good. The primary pollutant measured is PM2.5, with a reported concentration of 1.1585 µg/m³. This value reflects the fine particle level recorded from the available monitoring sites.
A total of sixteen valid measurements were used to determine the current 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 Colorado Springs dataset pulls measurements from four monitoring sites across a total of eighteen recent readings. All six pollutants tracked by OpenAQ are represented: fine particles (PM2.5), coarse particles (PM10), ultrafine particles (PM1), relative humidity, temperature and particle count (UM003). The most up‑to‑date values were recorded on 2026-02-11 01:00 UTC for five of the pollutants at the Vista Grande site, while PM10 is only available from an older record dated 2025-01-13 23:00 UTC at Pinecliff.
Across the recent data, PM2.5 values range from about 0.44 to 3.1 µg/m³ with a median near 1.24 µg/m³, indicating low but variable concentrations. PM1 shows a tighter spread, from roughly 0.03 to 0.93 µg/m³ and a median of 0.71 µg/m³. Relative humidity measurements sit between 27 % and 40 %, centering on a median of 33.7 %. Temperature is narrowly bounded between 9.5 °C and 10.6 °C, with a median of 9.87 °C. Particle counts (UM003) vary from about 166 to 298 particles/cm³, median 285, while the older PM10 reading sits in a narrow band of 5.5–6.0 µg/m³.
Because five of the six pollutants have fresh timestamps within the last week, most of the dataset reflects current conditions, but the single PM10 record is over a year old, limiting insight into that metric’s recent behavior. The number of rows per pollutant also differs: PM2.5 and PM1 each have four recent entries, humidity and temperature three each, UM003 three, whereas PM10 has only two older entries. This uneven coverage means city‑wide averages are more reliable for the newer pollutants, while variations in PM10 may be under‑represented.

Data notes
The data set for Colorado Springs includes 16 valid measurements and was Updated today (last refreshed at 2026-02-11T01:00:00+00:00). These readings represent a snapshot of conditions across the monitoring network, but air quality can vary by location and time within the city. Use this information as a general reference rather than a precise indicator for any specific neighborhood or moment.
