What the data includes

The Sandwell air‑quality dataset currently includes three measured pollutants – nitrogen dioxide (NO₂), particulate matter 10 µm or less (PM₁₀) and particulate matter 2.5 µm or less (PM₂.₅). The data come from five recent rows of observations collected at two monitoring stations, all recorded on 2026‑02‑10 20:00 UTC, which places every reading within the last seven days.

For NO₂ the values span a modest range, with a minimum of 20.5 µg/m³, a median of 44.6 µg/m³ and a maximum of 47.0 µg/m³ recorded at Oldbury Birmingham Road – UKA00595. The 10th‑percentile sits at about 25.3 µg/m³ while the 90th‑percentile is 46.5 µg/m³, indicating that most recent measurements cluster near the upper end of this spread. PM₁₀ and PM₂.₅ each have a single reported value – 14.0 µg/m³ for PM₁₀ and 12.0 µg/m³ for PM₂.₅ – both also from Oldbury Birmingham Road and recorded at the same timestamp.

The dataset shows uneven coverage across pollutants: while NO₂ has three recent rows, PM₁₀ and PM₂.₅ are represented by only one row each. All observations are fresh, but the limited number of stations means that conditions can differ in other parts of Sandwell not captured here. Consequently, the available figures give a snapshot for a specific location rather than a comprehensive city‑wide picture.
