Air quality today

The air quality in Kitimat today is classified as Good. The primary pollutant measured is PM2.5, with a reported concentration of 4.0 µg/m³. In addition, the PM10 measurement reads 0.0 µg/m³, based on ten valid observations collected through OpenAQ.

Overall conditions meet the criteria for a Good rating according to the current assessment. This page is informational; for health guidance, use official sources such as EPA AirNow or WHO.

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 Kitimat air‑quality record draws on ten recent measurement rows collected at three monitoring sites. All six listed pollutants—nitric oxide (NO), nitrogen dioxide (NO₂), ozone (O₃), particulate matter ≤10 µm (PM10), particulate matter ≤2.5 µm (PM2.5) and sulfur dioxide (SO₂)—are represented in the dataset, but the depth of coverage varies by substance.

The most recent data for every pollutant were logged on 2026‑02‑10 at 22:00 UTC, meaning the freshest values are only two days old. PM2.5 has the richest set of observations, with three rows showing a minimum of 2.0 µg/m³, a median of 3.0 µg/m³ and a maximum of 4.0 µg/m³; the central 80 % of readings fall between 2.2 and 3.8 µg/m³. SO₂ also appears in three rows, ranging from 0.0002 to 0.0004 ppm with a median of 0.0002 ppm. In contrast, PM10, NO, NO₂ and O₃ each have only a single recent row, all recorded at the same timestamp. PM10 registers an exact value of 0.0 µg/m³, while NO is measured at 0.0002 ppm, NO₂ at 0.0005 ppm, and O₃ at 0.024 ppm.

Because most pollutants are captured by just one or a few rows, the dataset provides a snapshot rather than a continuous picture of city‑wide conditions. The limited number of stations means that spatial variations across Kitimat may not be fully reflected, especially for those substances with only a single measurement point. Nonetheless, the data are current and give a clear view of recent concentrations for each monitored pollutant.

Data notes

The data shown reflects ten valid measurements and is updated within 3 days, with the most recent reading recorded on 2026‑02‑10 at 22:00 UTC. This snapshot represents conditions across Kitimat at a single point in time; air quality can differ by location and moment within the city, so values may not capture short‑term fluctuations or micro‑area variations.
