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 dataset for Salzgitter contains measurements from a single monitoring site, Salzgitter‑Drütte, with seven rows of data covering the full set of pollutants tracked by OpenAQ: 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). All values are reported in micrograms per cubic metre (µg/m³).
The most recent observations for CO, NO₂, O₃, PM₁₀, PM₂.₅ and SO₂ were all recorded on 2026‑02‑10 at 17:00 UTC, indicating that the bulk of the data is very fresh – less than three days old at the time of writing. The only older entry is for NO, which dates back to 2024‑03‑11 at 11:00 UTC and is flagged as “old data”. Because each pollutant has a single recorded value (the minimum, median and maximum are identical), there is no observed spread within this snapshot; the values are CO 273.778 µg/m³, NO 1.2178 µg/m³, NO₂ 13.8739 µg/m³, O₃ 40.8152 µg/m³, PM₁₀ 15.7627 µg/m³, PM₂.₅ 13.0082 µg/m³ and SO₂ 1.78503 µg/m³.
Overall the coverage is limited to one location, so while the data give a precise picture of conditions at Salzgitter‑Drütte at the recorded times, they do not capture spatial variation across the wider city area. The dataset’s freshness is high for most pollutants but uneven because NO relies on an older measurement, which means that short‑term changes in that specific gas are not reflected here. Users should keep in mind that air quality can differ by neighbourhood and over time, and the current snapshot represents only a single point in space and moment.
