Air quality today
Today the air quality in Rockhampton, Queensland is classified as Good. The primary pollutant measured is PM2.5, with a reference concentration of 5.0 µg/m³. The accompanying PM10 reference value is 12.9 µg/m³, based on three valid measurements. Both PM2.5 and PM10 values are below their respective reference thresholds, indicating that particulate concentrations are within the limits set for this category. The three valid measurements provide a reliable snapshot of current conditions.
These figures are presented through OpenAQ, which aggregates data from monitoring stations and makes it publicly accessible. The information reflects the latest available reporting period. This page is informational; for health guidance, use official sources such as EPA AirNow or WHO.

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 data set for Rockhampton lists three measured pollutants: ozone (O3) reported in parts‑per‑million, particulate matter with a diameter of 10 µm or less (PM10) and particulate matter with a diameter of 2.5 µm or less (PM2.5) both reported in micrograms per cubic metre. All three readings come from a single monitoring location identified as West Rockhampton, so the station coverage for the city consists of one site that supplies one row of data for each pollutant.
Each pollutant row carries the same timestamp – 2026-02-10 22:00 UTC – and the freshness indicator shows that all three rows were updated within the last three days. This means the newest available measurements are only two days old relative to today (2026-02-12), providing a very recent snapshot of ambient conditions at the West Rockhampton site.
The numeric values show no variation across the recorded period: ozone is consistently 0.002 ppm, PM10 is consistently 12.9 µg/m³ and PM2.5 is consistently 5.0 µg/m³, with the minimum, median and maximum all identical for each pollutant. Because there is only one observation per pollutant, the dataset does not reveal any spread or temporal trend, and the limited station count means it cannot capture differences that might exist across other parts of the city. Nonetheless, the data are current, cover the three key pollutants, and are all sourced from the same recent measurement at West Rockhampton.
