Air quality today
The air quality in Detroit Lakes, Minnesota is classified as Good today. The primary pollutant identified is PM2.5, with a measured concentration of 6.2 µg/m³. The reference value for PM2.5 is also 6.2 µg/m³, matching the observed level. Two valid measurements contributed to this assessment, and no PM10 value is reported. All data are shown via OpenAQ.
According to the current dataset, the overall conditions remain within the Good category and no other pollutant was flagged as dominant. The two observations were recorded on the same day, providing a consistent snapshot of ambient air. The information reflects the latest available readings. This page is informational; for health guidance, use official sources such as EPA AirNow or WHO.

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 Detroit Lakes air‑quality record currently contains data for two monitored pollutants: ozone (O3) measured in parts per million and fine particulate matter (PM2.5) measured in micrograms per cubic metre. Both pollutants are represented by a single recent observation, giving a total of two data rows for the city. The ozone reading is 0.021 ppm, recorded at the Detroit Lakes site on 2026‑02‑03 at 13:00 UTC, while the PM2.5 reading is 6.2 µg/m³, recorded at the same location on 2026‑02‑10 at 23:00 UTC. Because each pollutant has only one entry, the reported minimum, median, and maximum values are identical, indicating no observed spread in the limited sample.
All available measurements fall within the most recent 30‑day window; there are no older or unknown‑date entries in the dataset. This means the freshest timestamps for both ozone and PM2.5 are less than a month old, providing a snapshot of current conditions but offering no historical depth. With only two rows of data, the spatial and temporal coverage is narrow, so the figures represent a single monitoring point rather than a city‑wide network. The uniformity of the values (no variation between minimum, median and maximum) reflects the limited number of observations rather than stability in the atmosphere.
In practice, the dataset for Detroit Lakes supplies up‑to‑date concentrations for O3 and PM2.5 from one sensor, refreshed within the last week for PM2.5 and within the last three weeks for ozone. Users should keep in mind that the city’s air quality can differ across neighborhoods and over time, and the present data set captures only these two recent points.
