Air quality today
The air quality in Lake Loon today is classified as Good. The primary pollutant measured is PM2.5, with a reference value of 1.0 µg/m³ reported from six valid observations.
PM10 data are not available for this assessment. 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 Lake Loon air‑quality feed contains six measured pollutants – nitrogen monoxide (NO), nitrogen dioxide (NO₂), total nitrogen oxides (NOX), ozone (O₃), fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and sulfur dioxide (SO₂). All data come from a single monitoring location, identified as the Lake Major station, so the dataset comprises six rows in total, one for each pollutant.
Each pollutant record shows the same timestamp of 2026‑02‑10 22:00 UTC, which falls within the “updated within three days” freshness window. Because there is only one sensor reporting, the reported values are identical across the minimum, median and maximum statistics for every compound. NO, NO₂ and SO₂ each sit at 0.0001 ppm (or 0.0002 ppm for NOX), O₃ registers 0.038 ppm, and PM2.5 measures 1.0 µg/m³. The lack of variation means the dataset does not capture any temporal spread or day‑to‑day fluctuations for Lake Loon.
Given the single‑station coverage, the data provide a snapshot rather than a comprehensive picture of air quality across the city. While the timestamps are recent, the absence of multiple locations or repeated measurements limits insight into spatial differences or short‑term changes. Users should keep in mind that conditions can differ elsewhere in Lake Loon and at other times, even though the current figures represent the most up‑to‑date reading available from this source.
