Mr. Duck’s Air Quality Score
Good air today for Mount Barker District Council, South Australia, Australia
This friendly indicator summarizes the latest city readings. For health guidance, please see: EPA AirNow or WHO.
Air quality today
The overall air quality is Good. The main pollutant identified is PM2.5 (fine particles). Recent readings show a PM2.5 concentration of 3.42 µg/m³ based on five valid measurements. The reported PM2.5 value of 3.42 µg/m³ reflects the average of the five valid samples collected today. No PM10 measurement is reported for this period. This indicates that the current level of fine particulate matter falls within the Good category as defined by the assessment.
Data is shown via OpenAQ. The figures represent the latest available data for the Mount Barker District Council area. These values are presented without interpretation. Measurements are taken from monitoring stations within the district. This page is informational; for health guidance, use official sources such as EPA AirNow or WHO.

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 Mount Barker District Council air‑quality feed contains six measured pollutants – PM1, PM10, PM2.5, relative humidity, temperature and the particle count UM003 – all supplied through the OpenAQ network. The data set comprises six observation rows drawn from a single monitoring station. Five of those rows were recorded within the past three days, while one row (the PM10 record) is classified as “old” because its most recent entry dates back to more than a year ago.
PM1 is reported at 2.0833333333333335 µg/m³, last updated on 2026-02-10 22:00 UTC; PM10 shows a value of 5.791666666666667 µg/m³ with its latest timestamp of 2025-01-13 23:00 UTC; PM2.5 is 3.4166666666666665 µg/m³, also from 2026-02-10 22:00 UTC. Relative humidity is recorded at 42.40416653951009 % on 2026-02-10 22:00 UTC, temperature at 24.66249990463257 °C on the same date, and UM003 at 578.25 particles/cm³, again from 2026-02-10 22:00 UTC. For each of these five recent pollutants the minimum, median and maximum values are identical, indicating that the six rows contain the same measurement for each parameter and there is no observed spread in the data.
Because the dataset relies on a single sensor location, it provides a limited spatial picture of air quality across the broader Mount Barker district. The freshness of the data is generally good for most pollutants, but the older PM10 entry highlights an uneven temporal coverage that users should keep in mind when interpreting current conditions.
