Air quality today
The air quality in Dessel today falls into the Good category according to the latest assessment. The main pollutant identified is PM2.5 (fine particles). Measurements show a PM2.5 reference value of 3.02225 and a PM10 reference value of 4.8, based on four valid observations collected via OpenAQ.
Overall conditions are considered good with these particulate levels recorded. 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 Dessel air‑quality record draws on a single monitoring site (42N016 – DESSEL) that supplies data for five pollutants: nitrogen dioxide, ozone, PM10, PM2.5 and sulphur dioxide. For four of the substances the most recent measurement was taken on 2026‑02‑10 at 18:00 UTC, so the dataset is very fresh for those compounds. Sulphur dioxide is the exception; its only available value dates back to 2020‑01‑20 at 01:00 UTC and is therefore considerably older than the rest of the record.
Because each pollutant currently has just one reported figure, the statistical spread is zero – the minimum, median and maximum values are identical. Nitrogen dioxide registers at 18.5 µg/m³, ozone at 41.5 µg/m³, PM10 at 4.8 µg/m³ and PM2.5 at 3.02225 µg/m³. The sulphur‑dioxide reading is 0.0 µg/m³. With only one monitoring location, the data represent conditions at that specific point rather than a citywide average, and variations across different neighbourhoods or times of day are not captured.
Overall, the dataset shows very recent coverage for most pollutants but limited temporal depth and spatial breadth. The presence of an older sulphur‑dioxide entry highlights uneven freshness across compounds. Users should keep in mind that while the numbers give a snapshot of air quality at the DESSEL site on the dates listed, they do not reflect possible fluctuations elsewhere in Dessel or beyond the recorded moments.
