Air quality today

The air quality in Lorca today is classified as Good. The primary pollutant measured is PM2.5 (fine particles). According to the latest data, the PM2.5 concentration is 4.67 µg/m³ and the corresponding PM10 level is 16.32 µg/m³, based on six valid measurements.

These values are presented through OpenAQ data for Lorca in the Region of Murcia, Spain. This page is informational; for health guidance, use official sources such as EPA AirNow or WHO.

What the data includes

The Lorca air‑quality dataset contains measurements for seven pollutants – carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen oxides (NO and NO₂), ozone (O₃), particulate matter of both size fractions (PM₁₀ and PM₂.5) and sulfur dioxide (SO₂). All data come from a single monitoring site, giving a total of 13 recorded rows for the city.

The most recent observations were all captured on 2026‑02‑09 at 15:00 UTC, so the bulk of the dataset is fresh, having been updated within the last seven days. The exception is the NO reading, which dates back to 2024‑02‑20 00:00 UTC and is therefore considerably older than the other parameters.

Across the pollutants the recorded values show a fairly wide spread for gases but tighter ranges for particulates. CO varies from a low of 120 µg/m³ up to 260 µg/m³, with a median around 190 µg/m³; O₃ sits between 73.2 and 76.5 µg/m³, median 74.85 µg/m³; NO₂ is confined to a narrow band of 8.4–8.9 µg/m³, median 8.65 µg/m³. Particulate matter shows lower concentrations: PM₁₀ ranges from 16.32 to 29.0 µg/m³ (median 22.66 µg/m³) and PM₂.5 from 4.67 to 12.06 µg/m³ (median 8.365 µg/m³). SO₂ is the smallest of the gases, recorded between 1.0 and 3.6 µg/m³ with a median of 2.3 µg/m³.

Because the dataset relies on a single station, spatial coverage across Lorca is limited; conditions can differ in other neighbourhoods or at times not captured by the most recent timestamps. The overall picture is that most pollutants have up‑to‑date readings for early February 2026, while NO remains an outlier with older data, highlighting uneven temporal completeness within the same monitoring location.

Data notes

The data shown for Lorca are based on six valid measurements and were refreshed recently, having been updated within three days (last update 2026‑02‑09T15:00:00+00:00). These values represent a snapshot of ambient conditions at the time of collection; air quality can differ across neighborhoods and change throughout the day, so local variations may not be captured in this summary.
