What the data includes

The Pakse air‑quality feed includes five measured variables: PM1, PM2.5, relative humidity, temperature and the particle count UM003. All of these come from a single monitoring location identified as “Pakse – Champasack”. The dataset contains five rows in total, each row representing the most recent observation for one pollutant. Every variable was last updated on 2026‑02‑10 20:00 UTC, which falls within the “updated within 7 days” freshness bucket, so the data are currently fresh.

Because only one reading is available per pollutant, the reported minimum, median and maximum values are identical. PM1 registers at 52.797 µg/m³, while PM2.5 measures 71.528 µg/m³. Relative humidity is recorded at 46.479 %, temperature at 27.134 °C, and UM003 shows a particle concentration of 4 110.402 particles/cm³. The lack of variation means there is no observable spread or range for any of the parameters in this snapshot.

The coverage is therefore limited: a single station supplies all five pollutants, and each pollutant has only one recent data point. While the timestamps are current, the dataset does not capture temporal changes or spatial differences across Pakse. Consequently, the numbers provide a momentary picture rather than a full view of how air quality may fluctuate throughout the day or across different neighborhoods.
