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
Fort McMurray’s air‑quality feed draws from two monitoring sites that together contributed four recent data rows. Both ozone (O₃) and fine particulate matter (PM₂.₅) are reported, giving a basic picture of the city’s ambient composition.
The latest ozone reading is 0.024 ppm, recorded by Patricia McInnes at 2026‑02‑10 22:00 UTC; the dataset shows a minimum of 0.020 ppm, a median of 0.022 ppm and a maximum of 0.024 ppm across the four rows, with the 10th percentile at 0.0204 ppm and the 90th percentile at 0.0236 ppm. For PM₂.₅ the most recent value is 6.4 µg/m³ from the same source and timestamp; values range from a low of 6.0 µg/m³ to a high of 6.4 µg/m³, median 6.2 µg/m³, with the 10th percentile at 6.04 µg/m³ and the 90th percentile at 6.36 µg/m³.
All four rows are classified as “today” or within the last three days, meaning the data are fresh and reflect conditions on the same day for both pollutants. However, the coverage is limited to just two stations, so spatial variation across Fort McMurray is not captured in this snapshot. The narrow numeric spread—only a few hundredths of a ppm for ozone and a few tenths of a µg/m³ for PM₂.₅—suggests relatively stable readings at the monitored locations during the reporting period. Because only two sites contribute, conditions elsewhere in the city may differ from what these numbers show.
