Air quality today

The air quality in Potsdam today is classified as Moderate. The primary pollutant identified is PM2.5 (fine particles). Measurements show a PM2.5 concentration of 25.0 µg/m³ and a PM10 level of 27.0 µg/m³, based on five valid observations.

Data is shown via OpenAQ. This page is informational; for health guidance, use official sources such as EPA AirNow or WHO.

What the data includes

The Potsdam air‑quality dataset pulls OpenAQ measurements for seven pollutants – carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen oxide (NO), nitrogen dioxide (NO₂), ozone (O₃), particulate matter ≤ 10 µm (PM10), particulate matter ≤ 2.5 µm (PM2.5) and sulphur dioxide (SO₂). Across the city 29 individual data rows have been collected from five monitoring stations, but the freshness of those rows varies widely: only five rows were recorded within the last three days, seven are older than a week, and the remaining seventeen lack a recent timestamp altogether.

For most pollutants the newest values are from 2026‑02‑10 18:00 UTC, showing that the data for NO₂, PM10, PM2.5, O₃ and SO₂ is relatively current. The latest NO reading dates back to 2024‑03‑11 11:00 UTC, while CO has no timestamp at all, indicating a gap in recent coverage for those two gases. Median concentrations give a sense of typical conditions: NO₂ sits at 21.5 µg/m³ (range 7.0–36.4), PM10 at 16.4 µg/m³ (11.6–45.0) and PM2.5 at 12.3 µg/m³ (6.3–41.0). The 90th‑percentile values show that extreme readings can reach roughly 31 µg/m³ for NO₂, 36 µg/m³ for PM10 and 33 µg/m³ for PM2.5, while the lower end of the distribution stays close to the minimums.

Overall the dataset offers a fairly detailed picture for particulate matter and nitrogen oxides, but coverage is uneven: recent data are plentiful for NO₂, PM10, PM2.5, O₃ and SO₂, yet older or missing timestamps dominate the records for CO and NO. Because many rows are old or lack timestamps, the snapshot may not capture short‑term fluctuations that can differ across neighborhoods and times of day.

Data notes

The data shown for Potsdam reflects five valid measurements and is updated within 3 days, with the latest values recorded at 2026‑02‑10T18:00:00+00:00. These figures provide a recent snapshot of air quality across the city, but conditions can differ by neighbourhood and change throughout the day, so individual experiences may vary from the reported averages.
