This friendly indicator summarizes the latest city readings. For health guidance, please see: EPA AirNow or WHO.
Air quality today
The air quality in Gardanne today is classified as Good. The main pollutant identified is PM2.5 (fine particles). Measurements recorded for the day show a PM2.5 value of 3.5 µg/m³ and a PM10 value of 6.0 µg/m³, based on two valid observations reported through OpenAQ.
These figures indicate that current concentrations are within the limits associated with the Good category. 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 Gardanne air‑quality record draws on six measurement rows collected from two monitoring stations. For the most recent period, fine particulate matter is represented by PM10 and PM2.5 data that were last refreshed on 2026‑02‑09 at 03:00 UTC, giving a very current snapshot of the city’s dust load. In contrast, the nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and sulfur dioxide (SO2) values come from older entries dated 2019‑12‑31 10:00 UTC and 2019‑12‑23 09:00 UTC respectively, so those pollutants are only available as historic points rather than up‑to‑date readings.
The particulate measurements show a modest spread. PM10 values range from a low of 6.0 µg/m³ to a high of 33.4 µg/m³, with the median sitting at 19.7 µg/m³; the 10th and 90th percentiles are 8.74 µg/m³ and 30.66 µg/m³, indicating most recent observations cluster around the middle of that interval. PM2.5 exhibits a tighter band, moving between 3.5 µg/m³ and 12.9 µg/m³, median 8.2 µg/m³, with percentiles at roughly 4.44 µg/m³ and 11.96 µg/m³. By comparison, the single NO2 reading recorded is 26.5 µg/m³ and the lone SO2 figure is 0.9 µg/m³, each reflecting only one historic data point.
Overall, the dataset provides fresh information for particulate matter but limited, dated coverage for gaseous pollutants. With only two stations contributing six rows of data, spatial and temporal detail is uneven: recent dust concentrations are well captured, while nitrogen dioxide and sulfur dioxide conditions rely on older snapshots. Consequently, any interpretation of Gardanne’s air quality should consider that the available figures represent a snapshot rather than continuous monitoring across all pollutants.

Data notes
The current dataset for Gardanne includes two valid measurements and was refreshed recently, with the latest update recorded on 2026‑02‑09 at 03:00 UTC; it is therefore considered “Updated within 3 days.” These figures represent a snapshot in time and may not reflect conditions everywhere in the city, as air quality can vary by location and moment.
