Air quality today
The air quality in Medway today falls within the Good category. The primary pollutant identified is PM2.5 (fine particles). Measurements show a PM2.5 value of 1.73 µg/m³ and a reference PM10 level of 11.0 µg/m³, based on thirteen valid observations.
Data are shown via OpenAQ. 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 Medway air‑quality dataset currently contains measurements for eight pollutants – nitrogen dioxide (NO₂), ozone (O₃), particulate matter 1 µm (PM1), particulate matter 10 µm (PM10), particulate matter 2.5 µm (PM2.5), sulphur dioxide (SO₂), relative humidity and temperature – drawn from 13 individual rows recorded at three monitoring sites. All of the latest values were uploaded on 2026‑02‑10, meaning the most recent data are only four days old, which is relatively fresh for an open‑data feed.
PM2.5 shows a minimum of 1.73 µg/m³, a median of 4.0 µg/m³ and a maximum of 8.0 µg/m³ across the three stations, with the 10th percentile at 2.18 µg/m³ and the 90th percentile reaching 7.2 µg/m³. By contrast, NO₂ values are tightly clustered between 11 µg/m³ (minimum) and 13 µg/m³ (maximum), median 12 µg/m³, with a narrow spread reflected in the 10th‑percentile of 11.2 µg/m³ and 90th‑percentile of 12.8 µg/m³. PM10 is similarly constrained, ranging from 10 to 11 µg/m³ (median 10.5 µg/m³). Ozone, sulphur dioxide, relative humidity and temperature each have a single recorded value – 69 µg/m³ for O₃, 2 µg/m³ for SO₂, 67.16 % for humidity and 13.73 °C for temperature – all reported from the Rochester Stoke site.
The coverage across pollutants is uneven: while PM1, relative humidity and temperature are only represented by a single row each, PM2.5 benefits from three rows, providing a modest view of its variability. The overall dataset is recent but limited in depth; with just 13 rows, spatial and temporal nuances within Medway may not be fully captured, so conditions can differ between neighbourhoods or later in the week.
