Air quality today
The air quality in Forbach today is classified as Good. The primary pollutant identified is PM2.5 (fine particles). According to the latest OpenAQ data, four valid observations were recorded for this assessment.
Measurements show a PM2.5 concentration of 8.9 µg/m³ and a PM10 level of 10.8 µg/m³ based on those four readings. The values are presented through OpenAQ’s public monitoring platform. 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 Forbach air‑quality record is built from a single monitoring site, so the dataset contains one row of measurements for each pollutant. The five pollutants that are reported are nitrogen monoxide (NO), nitrogen dioxide (NO₂), ozone (O₃), particulate matter 10 µm or less (PM₁₀) and particulate matter 2.5 µm or less (PM₂.₅). Because there is only one station, the spatial coverage across the city is limited to that location.
The most recent data are fairly fresh for the gases: NO was last recorded on 2024‑03‑11 at 09:00 UTC, while both NO₂ and O₃ have updates from 2026‑02‑10 at 15:00 UTC, meaning they were refreshed within the past three days. The particulate measurements are a little older, with PM₁₀ and PM₂.5 last updated on 2026‑02‑09 at 03:00 UTC, still within a week of the query date. All five pollutants have a single reported value, so the minimum, median and maximum are identical for each – NO 3.7 µg/m³, NO₂ 7.6 µg/m³, O₃ 51.8 µg/m³, PM₁₀ 10.8 µg/m³ and PM₂.5 8.9 µg/m³ – indicating no observed spread in the current dataset.
Because only one monitoring point contributes data, the numbers represent conditions at that specific spot rather than a city‑wide average. The timestamps show that the gas measurements are up to date, while the particulate readings lag by a few days but remain recent enough to reflect present levels. Users should keep in mind that local variations may exist elsewhere in Forbach, especially where traffic or industrial sources differ from the station’s location.
