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 air‑quality dataset for Hattingen currently contains five pollutant measurements recorded at a single monitoring location, Hattingen‑Blankenstein. The available pollutants are nitrogen monoxide (NO), nitrogen dioxide (NO₂), ozone (O₃), particulate matter ≤ 10 µm (PM₁₀) and particulate matter ≤ 2.5 µm (PM₂.₅). Because there is only one station, each pollutant has a single reported value rather than a distribution across multiple sites.
The most recent data for four of the five pollutants were uploaded on 2026‑02‑10 at 17:00 UTC, showing that the dataset is being refreshed within the last three days for NO₂ (12.644 µg/m³), O₃ (35.652 µg/m³), PM₁₀ (8.042 µg/m³) and PM₂.₅ (6.489 µg/m³). In contrast, the NO measurement is older, last updated on 2024‑03‑11 at 10:00 UTC with a value of 8.592 µg/m³, indicating that this particular series has not been refreshed for nearly two years.
All five pollutants have identical minimum, median and maximum values in the current snapshot, meaning each measurement is based on a single observation rather than an aggregated range. The reported medians are therefore also the only available figures: NO 8.592 µg/m³, NO₂ 12.644 µg/m³, O₃ 35.652 µg/m³, PM₁₀ 8.042 µg/m³ and PM₂.5 6.489 µg/m³. Because the dataset relies on a single station, it cannot capture spatial variation across Hattingen; conditions elsewhere in the city may differ from those measured at the Blankenstein site, especially given the age of the NO record.
