Air quality today

The air quality in Göttingen today is classified as Moderate. The primary pollutant identified is PM2.5 (fine particles).

Measurements from eight valid monitoring stations show a PM2.5 reference value of 14.2404985 µg/m³ and a PM10 reference value of 34.2436 µg/m³, as reported by OpenAQ. This page is informational; for health guidance, use official sources such as EPA AirNow or WHO.

What the data includes

The dataset for Göttingen contains measurements for seven pollutants – 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). These values come from 11 individual rows that are grouped into two monitoring stations, one labelled “Göttingen‑Verkehr” and the other simply “Göttingen”. The most recent data points were recorded on 2026-02-10 at 17:00 UTC for CO, NO₂, PM₁₀, PM₂.₅, O₃ and SO₂, while the newest entry for NO dates back to 2024-03-11 at 11:00 UTC, indicating that nitrogen oxide data are older than the rest.

Across the pollutants the observed concentrations span a wide range. NO varies from a low of 0.65 µg/m³ up to a maximum of 11.53 µg/m³, with a median near 6.09 µg/m³; NO₂ shows higher values overall, ranging between 11.92 and 28.04 µg/m³ and a median of about 19.98 µg/m³. Particulate matter is also spread out: PM₁₀ runs from 12.62 to 34.24 µg/m³ (median 23.43) while PM₂.₅ stays tighter, between 10.87 and 14.24 µg/m³ with a median of 12.56 µg/m³. CO is reported as a single constant value of 424.68 µg/m³, and O₃ and SO₂ each have one recorded figure – 52.73 µg/m³ for ozone and 0.70 µg/m³ for sulphur dioxide.

Because the dataset relies on only two stations, spatial coverage is limited; conditions can differ across neighbourhoods and times that are not captured here. The freshness of most pollutants is good, with the latest updates from early February 2026, but the older NO measurement highlights an uneven temporal record. Users should keep in mind that these snapshots represent specific moments rather than continuous city‑wide monitoring.

Data notes

The data shown for Göttingen is based on eight valid measurements and was refreshed Updated within 3 days, with the latest update recorded at 2026‑02‑10T17:00:00+00:00. This snapshot reflects conditions at the time of collection; air quality can differ across neighborhoods and change throughout the day, so values may not represent every location or moment in the city.
