This friendly indicator summarizes the latest city readings. For health guidance, please see: EPA AirNow or WHO.
Air quality today
The air quality in Falkirk today is classified as Good. The primary pollutant measured is PM2.5 (fine particles). According to the latest data, the PM2.5 reference value stands at 9.0 µg/m³ while the PM10 reference value is 13.0 µg/m³, based on five valid measurements collected via OpenAQ.
These values indicate that the current concentrations are within the limits associated with a Good rating. 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 Falkirk air‑quality record pulls in data for four measured pollutants – nitrogen dioxide (NO2), particulate matter 10 µm or less (PM10), fine particulate matter 2.5 µm or less (PM2.5) and sulphur dioxide (SO2). The dataset currently contains five recent observations drawn from two monitoring stations, all of which were last refreshed on 2026‑02‑10 at 20:00 UTC, so the information is up to date within the past week.
For NO2 the values span a narrow band from a minimum of 8.0 µg/m³ to a maximum of 12.0 µg/m³, with a median of 10.0 µg/m³ and the central 80 % of readings falling between 8.4 and 11.6 µg/m³. PM10 shows a single recorded level of 13.0 µg/m³, meaning there is no observed variation in this dataset for that pollutant. Likewise, PM2.5 is represented by a constant value of 9.0 µg/m³ across its sole entry, and SO2 is fixed at 1.0 µg/m³. Because each of those three pollutants has only one row, the statistical spread cannot be assessed beyond the single reported figure.
The coverage therefore differs markedly between NO2, which benefits from two recent rows that allow a modest range to be described, and PM10, PM2.5 and SO2, each supplied by just one observation. While all timestamps are fresh, the limited number of stations means the snapshot reflects conditions at specific points rather than the whole city’s variability. Users should keep in mind that air‑quality can change across neighbourhoods and over time, and the present data set offers a concise but spatially narrow picture of Falkirk’s current atmospheric composition.

Data notes
The dataset for Falkirk includes five valid measurements and is refreshed regularly, having been updated within three days (last update: 2026‑02‑10T20:00:00+00:00). These figures represent a recent snapshot of the city’s air quality but should be interpreted as indicative only; conditions can differ across neighbourhoods and change throughout the day.
