Air quality today

The air quality in Serrekunda today is classified as moderate. The primary pollutant identified is PM2.5 (fine particles). Measurements show a PM2.5 concentration of 27.0 µg/m³, based on three valid observations reported through OpenAQ.

Data for this assessment are limited to the available readings and do not include other pollutants such as PM10. This page is informational; for health guidance, use official sources such as EPA AirNow or WHO.

What the data includes

The dataset for Serrekunda in the Kanifing Municipal Council includes measurements of five pollutants – nitrogen dioxide (NO₂), particulate matter 1 µm (PM₁), particulate matter 2.5 µg/m³ (PM₂.5), particulate matter 10 µg/m³ (PM₁₀) and ambient temperature. Data were collected from 11 individual rows representing seven monitoring stations across the city, giving a modest spatial coverage that captures conditions at several key points but does not provide a dense network.

The most recent reading in the whole set is for PM₂.5, recorded on 2026-02-10 19:00 UTC at the Bakoteh Landfill site, where the median concentration was 26.0 µg/m³ and values ranged from a low of 10.0 to a high of 108.0 µg/m³ (the 10th‑percentile was about 13.3 and the 90th‑percentile roughly 60.6). All other pollutants – NO₂, PM₁, PM₁₀ and temperature – have their latest observations from 2023-09-15 23:03 UTC at a station labeled APPCXFGP. For these older entries each pollutant shows a single recorded value: NO₂ at 0.02332 ppm, PM₁ at 19.03 µg/m³, PM₁₀ at 40.67 µg/m³ and temperature at –1.37 °C. Because only one measurement exists for each of those parameters, the reported minimum, median and maximum are identical.

Overall the data set is uneven: fresh information is available only for PM₂.5, while the remaining four variables rely on a single snapshot that is more than two years old. This means that current city‑wide conditions for NO₂, PM₁, PM₁₀ and temperature cannot be inferred from recent trends; they may differ substantially across locations and times not captured by the limited, dated entries. Users should keep in mind that the available figures represent a snapshot rather than continuous monitoring, and that actual air quality can vary throughout Serrekunda depending on local sources and temporal factors.
