What the data includes

The OpenAQ feed for Ludwigshafen am Rhein currently provides data on seven pollutants – carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen oxide (NO), nitrogen dioxide (NO₂), ozone (O₃), particulate matter 10 µm or less (PM10), particulate matter 2.5 µm or less (PM2.5) and sulphur dioxide (SO₂). These values come from six monitoring stations, giving a total of 33 recent rows in the dataset. The most up‑to‑date measurements were recorded on 2026‑02‑10 at 18:00 UTC for CO, NO₂, PM10, PM2.5, SO₂ and O₃, while the latest NO reading is from 2024‑03‑11 at 11:00 UTC, indicating that nitrogen oxide data are older than the rest.

Across the pollutants the observed concentrations span a wide range. CO values vary from about 247 µg/m³ up to nearly 1,769 µg/m³ with a median around 591 µg/m³; NO ranges from roughly 1 µg/m³ to 320 µg/m³ and sits at a median of 34 µg/m³; NO₂ is between 9.5 µg/m³ and 86 µg/m³ with a median near 45 µg/m³. Particulate matter shows lower levels: PM10 runs from 4 µg/m³ to about 75 µg/m³ (median ≈ 25 µg/m³) and PM2.5 from 1 µg/m³ to 44.6 µg/m³ (median ≈ 17 µg/m³). SO₂ is essentially constant at 1.000125 µg/m³, while O₃ ranges from just under 1 µg/m³ to 50.4 µg/m³ with a median of roughly 26 µg/m³.

The dataset therefore offers fairly fresh coverage for most gases and particles, but the nitrogen oxide series is noticeably older, and the overall number of rows (33) reflects limited sampling compared with larger networks. Because measurements come from only two sites – Ludwigshafen‑Heinigstraße for CO, NO, NO₂, PM10 and PM2.5, and Ludwigshafen‑Oppau for SO₂ and O₃ – conditions can differ across the city and over time, especially where data are less recent.
