Air quality today
The air quality in Esch‑sur‑Alzette is currently classified as Good. The main pollutant identified is PM2.5 (fine particles). Measurements show a PM2.5 reference value of 1.0 and a PM10 reference value of 11.0, based on six valid observations collected via OpenAQ.
Overall conditions meet the criteria for the Good category according to the latest data set. 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 Esch‑sur‑Alzette dataset contains measurements for seven common air‑quality gases and particles: carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen oxide (NO), nitrogen dioxide (NO₂), ozone (O₃), particulate matter ≤ 10 µm (PM10), particulate matter ≤ 2.5 µm (PM2.5) and sulphur dioxide (SO₂). All ten data rows come from two monitoring stations, so the spatial coverage is limited to a small part of the city.
Freshness varies across pollutants. The most recent values for CO, NO₂, O₃, PM10 and PM2.5 were all recorded on 2026‑02‑10 at 18:00 UTC, indicating that those five parameters have up‑to‑date information within the last week. NO was last updated on 2024‑03‑11 at 12:00 UTC, while SO₂ is based on a much older reading from 2022‑02‑03 at 09:00 UTC; these two pollutants therefore reflect conditions that are months or years old.
The numeric range for each pollutant is narrow because only single recent values are available. CO is consistently reported at 240 µg/m³, O₃ at 57 µg/m³, PM10 at 11 µg/m³ and PM2.5 at 1 µg/m³ across the latest row. NO₂ shows a modest spread in its recent three‑day window, ranging from 19.9 to 34.8 µg/m³ with a median of 31.3 µg/m³, while NO varies between 2.2 and 25.1 µg/m³ (median 13.65 µg/m³) in the older data set. SO₂ is reported at a single value of 3.8 µg/m³.
Overall, the dataset provides complete coverage of the seven pollutants but concentrates most recent observations on half of them, with two gases relying on outdated measurements. Consequently, while the current snapshot gives a clear picture of CO, O₃, PM10 and PM2.5 levels, the broader air‑quality situation in Esch‑sur‑Alzette may differ across locations and times not captured by these limited rows.
