Air quality today
The air quality in St. Catharines today is classified as Moderate. The primary pollutant identified is PM2.5 (fine particles).
Measurements from five valid monitoring stations show a PM2.5 reference value of 10.0 µg/m³, with data displayed via OpenAQ. This page is informational; for health guidance, use official sources such as EPA AirNow or WHO.
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 St. Catharines air‑quality feed contains data for five measured pollutants – nitrogen monoxide (NO), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), total nitrogen oxides (NOX), ozone (O3) and fine particulate matter (PM2.5). The dataset comprises eight individual rows drawn from a single monitoring station, so the spatial coverage is limited to one location within the city. All of the most recent observations were recorded on 2026‑02‑10 at 22:00 UTC, meaning the freshest values are less than three days old for every pollutant.
Across the five compounds the observed concentrations span modest ranges. NO2 varies from a low of 0.003 ppm to a high of 0.011 ppm, with a median near 0.007 ppm; O3 shows a slightly broader spread, ranging between 0.029 and 0.042 ppm and centering around 0.036 ppm. PM2.5 values are measured in micrograms per cubic metre, from 10 µg/m³ up to 24 µg/m³, with the typical (median) reading at 17 µg/m³. The nitrogen monoxide and NOX readings are single‑value entries – both recorded at 0.001 ppm for NO and 0.011 ppm for NOX – reflecting that only one measurement was available for each of these gases.
Because the dataset relies on a solitary monitoring point, it captures conditions at that specific site but cannot represent citywide variation. The timestamps indicate all data are recent, yet the limited number of rows (eight) and the single‑station footprint mean many parts of St. Catharines may experience different pollutant levels at any given moment. Users should keep in mind that these figures provide a snapshot rather than a comprehensive picture of air quality across the entire urban area.

Data notes
The data shown for St. Catharines is based on five valid measurements and was updated within three days, with the most recent reading recorded at 2026‑02‑10T22:00:00+00:00. This snapshot reflects conditions at specific monitoring points and times; air quality can differ across neighborhoods and throughout the day, so values may not represent every location or moment in the city.
