Air quality today
The air quality in Għarb is classified as Good today. The primary pollutant measured is PM2.5, with a recorded concentration of 2.95 µg/m³. In addition, the PM10 level was observed at 4.92 µg/m³ based on five valid measurements.
These values reflect the current assessment provided by OpenAQ for this location. 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 dataset for Għarb contains measurements from a single monitoring site – Gharb Station – and includes seven pollutant variables: carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen oxide (NO), nitrogen dioxide (NO₂), ozone (O₃), particulate matter 10 µm or less (PM₁₀), particulate matter 2.5 µm or less (PM₂.₅) and sulphur dioxide (SO₂). All values are reported in micrograms per cubic metre.
The most recent observations were recorded on 2026‑02‑10 at 22:00 UTC for NO₂, O₃, PM₁₀, PM₂.₅ and SO₂, showing that half of the pollutants have data updated within the last three days. In contrast, CO data are from 2022‑03‑01 11:00 UTC and NO data from 2024‑03‑11 08:00 UTC, indicating older records for those two species. Because only one station supplies the data, spatial coverage across Għarb is limited to that single location.
Across the seven pollutants the recorded values are identical to their median, minimum and maximum because each pollutant has a single reported measurement. CO registers 225.078 µg/m³, NO 0.33552 µg/m³, NO₂ 0.75247 µg/m³, O₃ 88.16733 µg/m³, PM₁₀ 4.92212 µg/m³, PM₂.₅ 2.95017 µg/m³ and SO₂ 0.09895 µg/m³. The data therefore show a narrow numeric spread – each pollutant is represented by one point rather than a range of observations.
Overall the dataset provides a complete set of common air‑quality pollutants but with limited temporal depth for CO and NO, and with coverage confined to a single monitoring point in Għarb. Consequently, while the latest values give a snapshot of conditions at that site, they do not capture variability across different neighbourhoods or over longer periods.

Data notes
The dataset for Għarb includes five valid measurements and was refreshed recently, with the latest update recorded on 2026‑02‑10 at 22:00 UTC; it is therefore labeled as Updated within 3 days. While these figures give a reliable snapshot of current conditions, air quality can differ across neighborhoods and change throughout the day, so local variations may not be fully captured in this summary.
