Air quality today

The air quality in Peshawar City Tehsil, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan is currently classified as Very Unhealthy. The primary pollutant identified is PM2.5, with a measured concentration of 144.1 µg/m³. This concentration is the basis for the Very Unhealthy classification. The assessment is based on 45 valid measurements collected through OpenAQ. PM10 data are not available for this reporting period.

The reported values represent a snapshot of ambient conditions at the time of sampling. A total of 45 observations contribute to the presented figure, indicating multiple sampling points across the area. All measurements are reported through the OpenAQ platform.

What the data includes

The OpenAQ feed for Peshawar City Tehsil provides five measured pollutants: PM2.5, PM1, relative humidity, temperature and the particle count UM003. Across the city the dataset contains 51 rows of observations drawn from 11 monitoring stations. PM2.5 is reported from all 11 stations, while the other four parameters each come from 10 stations, so coverage is slightly uneven but still fairly broad.

All of the latest readings were recorded on 2026-02-10 at 22:00 UTC, which falls within the “updated within 30 days” freshness window. For PM2.5 the values span from a low of about 7.3 µg/m³ to a high of roughly 236 µg/m³, with a median near 84 µg/m³, showing that typical concentrations sit in the middle of a wide range. PM1 measurements range from about 3.5 µg/m³ up to 125 µg/m³, with a median of 48 µg/m³, indicating a similar spread but generally lower absolute levels than PM2.5. Relative humidity varies between 23 % and 55 %, with a median of 41 %, while temperature runs from 16.3 °C to 26.1 °C and centers around 20.1 °C. The UM003 particle count covers a broad interval from roughly 482 to 9,638 particles per cm³, with a median of 3,573 particles per cm³.

These figures illustrate that the dataset captures a diverse set of conditions across the city, with each pollutant showing a distinct range and a central tendency that reflects typical local values. The recent timestamps mean the information reflects current atmospheric conditions, though the slight variation in station count for some parameters suggests that not every location reports every pollutant at the same frequency.
