This friendly indicator summarizes the latest city readings. For health guidance, please see: EPA AirNow or WHO.
Air quality today
The air quality in Pforzheim today is classified as Good. The primary pollutant measured is PM2.5, fine particulate matter, with a reported concentration of 2.0 µg/m³. In addition, the PM10 level is recorded at 6.6 µg/m³ based on four valid measurements from OpenAQ data.
Overall conditions meet the Good category criteria according to the latest assessment. 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 air‑quality record for Pforzheim is based on a single monitoring station, so all six pollutants—carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen oxide (NO), nitrogen dioxide (NO₂), ozone (O₃), particulate matter 10 µm or less (PM₁₀) and particulate matter 2.5 µm or less (PM₂.₅)—come from one data row. The timestamps show a mixed picture of freshness: the most recent updates for NO₂, O₃, PM₁₀ and PM₂.₅ were recorded on 2026‑02‑10 at 17:00 UTC, indicating very current information for those four compounds. In contrast, the CO value dates back to 2017‑01‑11 07:00 UTC and the NO reading to 2024‑03‑11 11:00 UTC, meaning that for these two pollutants the available data are considerably older.
Across the dataset each pollutant has a single reported figure, so there is no range of observations within Pforzheim. The median, minimum and maximum values are identical for every compound: CO stands at 800.0 µg/m³, NO at 4.3 µg/m³, NO₂ at 28.009 µg/m³, O₃ at 41.514 µg/m³, PM₁₀ at 6.6 µg/m³ and PM₂.₅ at 2.0 µg/m³. Because only one measurement per pollutant is present, the data do not reveal any variability over time or across locations in the city.
Overall, the dataset provides a complete set of common air‑quality pollutants but relies on a very limited spatial coverage and includes both recent and substantially outdated entries. Consequently, while the current snapshot for NO₂, O₃, PM₁₀ and PM₂.₅ reflects conditions as of early February 2026, the older CO and NO values may not represent today’s situation, and city‑wide conditions can differ from this single point source.
