This friendly indicator summarizes the latest city readings. For health guidance, please see: EPA AirNow or WHO.
Air quality today
The air quality in Coronel today is classified as Moderate. The primary pollutant measured is PM2.5 (fine particles). According to the latest data, the PM2.5 concentration is 22.0 µg/m³ and the accompanying PM10 level is 41.0 µg/m³, based on seven valid measurements.
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 dataset for Coronel includes six measured pollutants – carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen dioxide (NO₂), ozone (O₃), particulate matter ≤10 µm (PM10), particulate matter ≤2.5 µm (PM2.5) and sulfur dioxide (SO₂). Across the city there are 38 individual measurement rows drawn from eight monitoring stations, but the timeliness of those records varies considerably.
The most recent values for PM10, SO₂ and PM2.5 were all updated on 2026‑02‑10 at 13:00 UTC, showing a median PM10 concentration of 30.7 µg/m³ (range 18.21–182.3 µg/m³), a median SO₂ of 9.88 µg/m³ (range 1.21–15.25 µg/m³) and a median PM2.5 of 13.0 µg/m³ (range 9.08–22.0 µg/m³). In contrast, the latest CO, O₃ and NO₂ entries date back to 2021‑08‑20 at 21:00 UTC, with CO ranging from 290.78 to 5 903.73 µg/m³ (median 818.54 µg/m³), O₃ from 1.11 to 452.17 µg/m³ (median 29.70 µg/m³) and NO₂ from 0 to 33.99 µg/m³ (median 11.34 µg/m³). This mix of fresh and several‑year‑old data means that the current picture is more complete for particulate matter than for gases.
Overall, 14 of the rows have an unknown freshness status, while only seven are confirmed as updated within the last three days; the remaining entries are classified as old. Consequently, coverage is uneven – recent measurements exist for the two particulate metrics and SO₂, but the gas‑phase pollutants rely on older records. Because conditions can differ between stations such as Cerro Merquín and Coronel Sur, and because many data points are dated, users should keep in mind that the snapshot may not reflect short‑term variations across the city.

Data notes
The data shown for Coronel reflects seven valid measurements and is marked as Updated within 3 days, with the latest values recorded on 2026‑02‑10 at 13:00 UTC. This snapshot represents conditions measured at specific monitoring points; air quality can differ across neighborhoods and change throughout the day, so the figures may not capture all local variations.
