What the data includes

The dataset for Samtay District in Houaphanh contains a single monitoring row, so every pollutant listed is drawn from the same location – Xamtay ‑ Houaphan. The five measured variables are PM1 (4.28 µg/m³), PM2.5 (7.92 µg/m³), relative humidity (59.39 %), temperature (22.30 °C) and UM003 particle count (497.55 particles/cm³). All of these values were last recorded on 2026‑02‑10 at 20:00 UTC, which means the freshest data are less than a week old and fall into the “updated within 7 days” category.

Because there is only one row, the statistical spread for each pollutant is effectively zero; the minimum, median, maximum, 10th percentile and 90th percentile are identical for every metric. This uniformity shows that no variation can be observed across different sites or times within Samtay District from the current OpenAQ feed. The single‑station coverage also means that spatial differences in air quality across the district cannot be captured at this time.

In practical terms, the available data give a snapshot of conditions at one point rather than a broader picture. Users should keep in mind that actual pollutant levels may differ elsewhere in Samtay or change throughout the day, since the dataset does not include multiple locations or recent updates beyond the 2026‑02‑10 timestamp.
