Air quality today

The air quality in New Taipei is currently classified as Moderate. The primary pollutant identified for today is PM2.5 (fine particles).

Measurements show a PM2.5 concentration of 29.0 µg/m³ and a PM10 level of 47.0 µg/m³, based on 66 valid observations reported through OpenAQ. This page is informational; for health guidance, use official sources such as EPA AirNow or WHO.

What the data includes

The New Taipei dataset contains recent measurements for six common air‑quality pollutants – carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen dioxide (NO₂), ozone (O₃), particulate matter ≤10 µm (PM₁₀), particulate matter ≤2.5 µm (PM₂.₅) and sulfur dioxide (SO₂). All 13 monitoring stations in the city reported at least one reading for each of these gases, giving a total of 78 pollutant‑specific rows.

The newest observations were all recorded on 2026‑02‑10 at 23:00 UTC, so every pollutant has data that is less than a week old. Median values show CO around 0.56 ppm, NO₂ about 0.022 ppm, O₃ near 0.002 ppm, PM₁₀ at 30 µg/m³ and PM₂.5 at 19 µg/m³, while SO₂ sits at 0.0012 ppm. The spread is modest: for CO the 10th‑percentile is 0.256 ppm and the 90th‑percentile 0.796 ppm; NO₂ ranges from 0.012 ppm to 0.032 ppm; O₃ varies between 0 ppm and 0.041 ppm; PM₁₀ runs from 23 µg/m³ to 36 µg/m³; PM₂.5 spans 12.2 µg/m³ to 25.8 µg/m³; SO₂ lies between 0.00064 ppm and 0.00366 ppm. These ranges indicate that most stations record values clustered around the median, with only limited extremes.

A single station in Tamsui (新北市 - 淡水) provides the latest point‑in‑time figures: CO 0.64 ppm, NO₂ 0.032 ppm, O₃ 0 ppm, PM₁₀ 36.0 µg/m³, PM₂.5 22.0 µg/m³ and SO₂ 0.0012 ppm, all logged at the same timestamp. Because every pollutant is represented across all stations and the data are uniformly recent, the dataset offers a fairly comprehensive snapshot of current air quality in New Taipei, though conditions can still differ between neighborhoods and over shorter time intervals not captured here.

Data notes

The dataset for New Taipei includes 66 valid measurements and is refreshed regularly, having been Updated within 3 days; the most recent data point was recorded at 2026‑02‑10T23:00:00+00:00. This snapshot reflects conditions at a specific time and may not represent variations across different neighborhoods or moments throughout the day, so actual air quality can differ locally.
