Air quality today

The air quality in Dresden today is classified as Moderate. The primary pollutant identified is PM2.5 (fine particles). Measurements show a PM2.5 concentration of 14.243 µg/m³ and a PM10 level of 18.598 µg/m³, based on twelve valid observations.

Data are shown via OpenAQ. This page is informational; for health guidance, use official sources such as EPA AirNow or WHO.

What the data includes

The dataset for Dresden pulls in measurements from three monitoring stations and a total of sixteen individual rows. All six key pollutants are represented – nitrogen monoxide (NO), nitrogen dioxide (NO₂), ozone (O₃), particulate matter 10 µm or less (PM₁₀), particulate matter 2.5 µm or less (PM₂.₅) and sulfur dioxide (SO₂). The most recent updates are from 2026‑02‑10 17:00 UTC for five of the pollutants, while the NO values come from an older record dated 2024‑03‑11 11:00 UTC.

Across the city the median concentrations show a fairly tight spread for most substances. NO sits at a median of 16.07 µg/m³ with values ranging from 1.0 to 27.2 µg/m³; NO₂’s median is 24.94 µg/m³ and its observations vary between 24.19 and 32.55 µg/m³. Ozone records a median of 33.68 µg/m³, spanning 29.51 to 35.12 µg/m³. Particulate matter shows lower variability: PM₁₀’s median is 18.27 µg/m³ (range 1.82–18.60) and PM₂.₅’s median is 13.19 µg/m³ (range 11.66–14.24). Sulfur dioxide is represented by a single reading of 5.38 µg/m³, so no range can be derived for that pollutant.

The coverage is uneven: while NO₂, O₃, PM₁₀ and PM₂.₅ have three recent rows each, NO relies on an older entry and SO₂ has only one data point. Consequently, the snapshot reflects current conditions well for most pollutants but offers limited insight for NO and especially for SO₂. Users should keep in mind that air quality can differ across neighborhoods and over time, and the dataset’s freshness varies between the newer 2026 timestamps and the older 2024 record.

Data notes

The data shown for Dresden reflects a total of twelve valid measurements and is marked as Updated within 3 days, with the most recent update recorded at 2026‑02‑10T17:00:00+00:00. This snapshot provides a current view of citywide air quality but note that conditions can differ across neighborhoods and change throughout the day, so values may not represent every location or moment in Dresden.
