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 dataset for Faro contains measurements from a single monitoring site, Joaquim Magalhães, which records all five listed pollutants – nitrogen dioxide, ozone, PM10, PM2.5 and sulphur dioxide. Each pollutant has one recent observation recorded at 2026‑02‑10 21:00 UTC, and the system flags all of them as “Updated within 7 days,” indicating that the newest data are less than a week old.
Because there is only one row in the source table, every pollutant shows an identical minimum, median and maximum value. Nitrogen dioxide registers at 2.7 µg/m³, ozone at 65.1 µg/m³, PM10 at 4.5 µg/m³, PM2.5 at 2.3 µg/m³ and sulphur dioxide at 0.1 µg/m³. The lack of variation means the dataset cannot reveal any spread or temporal trends for Faro; it simply provides a single snapshot for each compound.
With only one monitoring location, spatial coverage across the city is limited, so conditions elsewhere may differ from those captured at Joaquim Magalhães. Nonetheless, the data are current enough to give an up‑to‑date picture of the air quality at that specific point in time, and all five pollutants are represented without any missing entries.
