Air quality today
The air quality in Dartford today is classified as Good. The primary pollutant measured is PM2.5 (fine particles).
Six valid measurements were recorded, showing a PM2.5 reference value of 7.2 and a PM10 reference value of 8.0. These figures are presented through OpenAQ data. 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 data set for Dartford includes measurements of nitrogen dioxide (NO₂), particulate matter ≤ 10 µm (PM₁₀) and particulate matter ≤ 2.5 µm (PM₂.5). In total there are nine recent rows drawn from four monitoring stations, giving a modest spatial coverage across the town.
All three pollutants have been updated within the last seven days, with the most recent reading timestamped 2026-02-10 19:00 UTC for each. The NO₂ values range from a low of 17.9 µg/m³ to a high of 36.6 µg/m³, with a median of 31.25 µg/m³ and the central 80 % of observations falling between roughly 20.8 and 36.1 µg/m³; the latest reported concentration is 27.6 µg/m³ at the St Clements 2 site. PM₁₀ shows a broader spread, from –3.0 to 19.6 µg/m³, median 7.4 µg/m³ and the 10th–90th percentile interval of about –0.06 to 16.1 µg/m³; the most recent measurement is 8.0 µg/m³ at the same St Clements 2 location. PM₂.5 has only a single recent row, recorded at Bean Lane, with a constant value of 7.2 µg/m³ (minimum, median and maximum are identical).
Because the number of rows differs by pollutant—four for NO₂, four for PM₁₀ and just one for PM₂.5—the picture is most detailed for nitrogen dioxide and coarse particles, while fine‑particle data are limited to a single point in time. Nevertheless, all available readings are fresh, dated within the past week, so they reflect current conditions at the sampled sites, though variations across other parts of Dartford may not be captured by this modest network.
