What the data includes

The current station data listed for this city is focused on particulate matter (PM). Only two pollutants are reported from the OpenAQ network in Houthalen‑Helchteren: PM10 and PM2.5, each measured at a single monitoring site (42HH08 – HOUTHALEN‑HELCHTEREN). The dataset contains one row per pollutant, so station coverage is limited to this lone location.

Both measurements are very recent, with the latest timestamp recorded on 2026-02-10 17:00 UTC, which falls within the three‑day freshness window used by the source. For PM10 the observed value is a constant 13.8 µg/m³ (minimum, median and maximum all identical), while PM2.5 shows a single reading of 3.02225 µg/m³ with no variation across the dataset. Because only one station contributes data, there is no spread or range to describe beyond these single points, and the lack of additional rows means spatial variability within the city cannot be captured. Consequently, while the available figures are up‑to‑date, they represent a very narrow snapshot of air quality for Houthalen‑Helchteren.
