Air quality today

The air quality in Rascafría today is classified as Good. The main pollutant identified is PM2.5, fine particulate matter measured against a reference value of 1.0. Measurements also include PM10 with the same reference value of 1.0, based on eight valid observations collected through OpenAQ.

These values indicate that the concentrations of both PM2.5 and PM10 are within the reference limits for the day. This page is informational; for health guidance, use official sources such as EPA AirNow or WHO.

What the data includes

The air‑quality record for Rascafría includes five measured pollutants – nitrogen monoxide (NO), nitrogen dioxide (NO₂), ozone (O₃), particulate matter 10 µm or less (PM10) and particulate matter 2.5 µm or less (PM2.5). All data come from a single monitoring station, Puerto de Cotos, which contributes nine rows of observations across the pollutants.

For most compounds the latest values were uploaded within the past week; NO₂, O₃, PM10 and PM2.5 each show a “last updated” timestamp of 2026‑02‑09 15:00 UTC, indicating very recent coverage. In contrast, the NO reading is older, dated 2024‑02‑28 23:00 UTC, so that particular metric reflects conditions from two years ago. The dataset therefore offers a mixed picture of freshness, with four pollutants current and one lagging.

The numeric spread is narrow for several substances. NO₂ consistently registers at 1 µg/m³ (minimum, median and maximum all equal 1), while PM10 also stays fixed at 1 µg/m³ across its range. Ozone shows a modest variation, ranging from 95 to 98 µg/m³ with a median of 96.5 µg/m³, suggesting relatively stable levels during the reporting period. PM2.5 displays the widest spread among the recent data, moving between 1 and 3 µg/m³; its 10th percentile is about 1.2 µg/m³ and the 90th percentile near 2.8 µg/m³, with a median of 2 µg/m³.

Overall, Rascafría’s air‑quality snapshot relies on a single site, providing recent information for four pollutants but only outdated data for NO. Because conditions can differ across neighborhoods and over time, the limited spatial and temporal coverage means the figures represent a narrow view of the city’s atmosphere at the moments recorded.

Data notes

The dataset for Rascafría includes eight valid measurements and is marked as Updated within 3 days, with the latest values recorded on 2026‑02‑09 at 15:00 UTC. These figures represent a snapshot of ambient conditions captured by the monitoring network; air quality can differ across neighborhoods and change throughout the day, so local variations may not be reflected in this summary.
