Air quality today

The air quality in Leipzig today is classified as Moderate. The primary pollutant identified is PM2.5 (fine particles). Measurements show a PM2.5 concentration of approximately 26.3 µg/m³ and a PM10 level near 40.8 µg/m³, based on sixteen valid observations.

What the data includes

The Leipzig air‑quality dataset currently contains measurements from five monitoring sites, amounting to twenty individual rows of data. Eight different parameters are recorded: nitrogen monoxide (NO), nitrogen dioxide (NO₂), ozone (O₃), particulate matter 1 µm (PM1), particulate matter 2.5 µm (PM2.5), particulate matter 10 µm (PM10), sulphur dioxide (SO₂) and relative humidity. For most pollutants the latest values are from 2026‑02‑10, meaning they have been updated within the last three days; only the NO reading is older, dated 2024‑03‑11.

Across the dataset the observed concentrations span a wide range. NO varies between about 1.8 µg/m³ and 26 µg/m³, with a median of roughly 10 µg/m³ at the Lützner Str. site. NO₂ shows a tighter spread from 15 µg/m³ up to 36 µg/m³, centred around a median of 28 µg/m³ at the same location. Particulate matter exhibits notable differences: PM10 reaches a maximum of 40.8 µg/m³ (median 38.2 µg/m³) while PM2.5 peaks at 27.5 µg/m³ with a median near 26.3 µg/m³, both recorded at separate sites. Ozone ranges from 7.4 to 46.5 µg/m³, centred on about 29 µg/m³ in the city centre. The single‑value measurements for SO₂ (1.172 µg/m³), PM1 (9.31 µg/m³) and relative humidity (43.6 %) reflect that only one recent row is available for each of these parameters.

Overall, the data set offers a fairly fresh snapshot for most pollutants but shows uneven coverage: while NO₂, O₃, PM10 and PM2.5 have multiple recent entries, SO₂, PM1 and humidity are represented by just one row each, and the NO measurement is considerably older. Consequently, city‑wide conditions may differ across neighbourhoods and times, and the current figures capture only a limited portion of that variability.

Data notes

The data shown for Leipzig reflects 16 valid measurements and is updated within 3 days, with the latest values recorded on 2026‑02‑10 at 19:00 UTC. This snapshot provides a recent overview of city‑wide air quality but note that conditions can differ across neighborhoods and change throughout the day, so local variations may not be captured in these aggregate figures.
