Air quality today
The air quality in Pau today is classified as Good. The primary pollutant identified is PM10, with a measured concentration of 6.1 µg/m³ based on two valid observations reported through OpenAQ.
Overall conditions meet the criteria for the Good category, and the data reflect the current state of particulate matter in the city. 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 dataset for Pau currently contains three measured pollutants – nitrogen monoxide (NO), nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and particulate matter up to 10 µm (PM10). All values come from a single monitoring site, identified as PAU TOURASSE, so the city’s air‑quality picture is based on one location rather than a network of stations. For each pollutant there is only one recorded row, giving a total of three rows in the whole collection.
The most recent measurement for NO was taken on 2024-03-11 at 09:00 UTC and shows a concentration of 1.2 µg/m³. The NO2 data are much newer, with the last update logged on 2026-02-10 at 15:00 UTC, reporting 40.4 µg/m³. PM10 was recorded on 2026-02-09 at 03:00 UTC and registers 6.1 µg/m³. Because each pollutant has a single value, the minimum, median, maximum, as well as the 10th and 90th percentiles are identical for that parameter.
These numbers illustrate a very narrow data spread: every pollutant’s range collapses to a single point, so there is no observed variability within the dataset. The timestamps also reveal an uneven freshness – NO data are over two years old, while NO2 and PM10 have been updated within the last few days. Consequently, the overall picture is limited; conditions can differ across Pau depending on location and time of day, but the current collection does not capture that diversity. Users should keep in mind that the available figures represent a snapshot from one site rather than a comprehensive city‑wide assessment.

Data notes
The data shown for Pau reflects two valid measurements and was updated within three days, with the latest refresh recorded at 2026‑02‑10 15:00 UTC. While this snapshot provides a current view of air quality across the city, conditions can differ by neighbourhood and change throughout the day, so values may not represent every location or moment in Pau.
