Air quality today
The air quality in Żejtun is currently classified as Moderate. The main pollutant identified is PM2.5 (fine particles). Measurements show a PM2.5 reference value of 10.13665 and a PM10 reference value of 33.51883, based on five valid observations collected through OpenAQ.
These figures reflect the present conditions without implying any trend or forecast. 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 Żejtun air‑quality record contains data for six measured pollutants – 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 sulphur dioxide (SO₂). All of these values come from a single monitoring location, the Zejtun Station, so the dataset consists of six rows in total, one for each pollutant.
The timestamps show that most of the data are very recent: five of the six pollutants were last updated on 2026‑02‑10 at 09:00 UTC, indicating fresh measurements within the past week. The NO reading is older, with its latest entry dated 2024‑03‑11 at 08:00 UTC, which means that for this particular gas the most recent value is almost two years old. Because only one station supplies the data, there is no spatial spread across the city; conditions reported here reflect the immediate surroundings of that site.
Across the six pollutants the recorded values are all single‑point measurements with identical minimum, median and maximum figures, showing no observed variability within the dataset. NO registers at 3.9385 µg/m³, NO₂ at 85.4916 µg/m³, O₃ at 15.15971 µg/m³, PM₁₀ at 33.51883 µg/m³, PM₂.₅ at 10.13665 µg/m³ and SO₂ at 0.21271 µg/m³. The uniformity of these numbers indicates that each pollutant has only one recent reading rather than a range of values over time. Consequently, while the data are up‑to‑date for most gases, the limited number of stations and lack of historical spread mean that the snapshot may not capture variations across different parts of Żejtun or changes throughout the day.

Data notes
The data shown for Żejtun is based on five valid measurements and was refreshed recently, with the latest update recorded at 2026‑02‑10 09:00 UTC; it is therefore marked as Updated within 3 days. While this snapshot reflects current conditions across the monitoring sites, air quality can differ by specific location and time of day within the city, so values may vary locally.
