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 Sparwood air‑quality feed currently draws from a single monitoring location, the Sparwood Centennial station, which supplies one row of data for each of the five tracked pollutants: nitrogen monoxide (NO), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), ozone (O3), particulate matter up to 10 µm (PM10) and fine particulate matter up to 2.5 µm (PM2.5). All five measurements were last refreshed on 2026‑02‑10 at 22:00 UTC, so the dataset is uniformly recent, with no older or unknown timestamps present.
Across the five pollutants the recorded values are identical for minimum, median and maximum, indicating that only one observation per pollutant is available. NO registers at 0.0005 ppm, NO2 at 0.0017 ppm, O3 at 0.038 ppm, PM10 at 16.0 µg/m³ and PM2.5 at 1.2 µg/m³. Because each pollutant has a single data point, there is no spread to describe; the reported percentiles (10th and 90th) match the sole value for every metric.
With just one station contributing, spatial coverage within Sparwood is limited, meaning conditions elsewhere in the city may differ from those captured at Centennial. The dataset’s freshness—all entries updated within three days—ensures that the snapshot reflects the most recent reading available, but the lack of multiple rows or historic series restricts any assessment of variability over time. Consequently, while the current figures give a clear picture of what is being measured right now, they do not convey broader trends or differences across neighborhoods.
