Air quality today
The air quality in Stoke‑on‑Trent is currently classified as Moderate. The main pollutant identified is PM2.5 (fine particles). Measurements show a PM2.5 reference value of 13.0 and a PM10 reference value of 15.0, based on seven valid observations collected via OpenAQ.
These figures reflect the present assessment without implying any trend or cause. 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 data set for Stoke‑on‑Trent includes four measured pollutants – nitrogen dioxide (NO₂), ozone (O₃), particulate matter 10 µm or less (PM10) and particulate matter 2.5 µm or less (PM2.5). There are two monitoring stations contributing rows to the record, giving a total of seven recent observations across all pollutants. The most recent update for each pollutant was recorded on 2026‑02‑10 at 20:00 UTC, so the freshest values are no older than a few days.
For NO₂ the highest reading observed is 32 µg/m³ and the lowest is 17 µg/m³, with a median of 24.5 µg/m³; the spread between the 10th and 90th percentiles runs from about 18.5 to 30.5 µg/m³. PM10 values range narrowly from 13 to 15 µg/m³, centred on a median of 14 µg/m³, while PM2.5 shows a similarly tight band between 11 and 13 µg/m³ with a median of 12 µg/m³. Ozone is represented by a single reading of 27 µg/m³ from the city centre site, so no range can be derived for that pollutant.
The coverage is uneven: both NO₂, PM10 and PM2.5 come from the same roadside station on the A50 (UKA00610), whereas O₃ is only available from a separate central location (UKA00337). Because there are just two stations, spatial variation within Stoke‑on‑Trent cannot be fully captured, and any single reading reflects conditions at that specific point rather than the whole city. Nonetheless, all data points are recent, giving a current snapshot of air quality across the monitored pollutants.

Data notes
The data shown reflects seven valid measurements and is updated within three days, with the most recent reading recorded at 2026‑02‑10T20:00:00+00:00. This snapshot provides a current view of Stoke‑on‑Trent’s air quality but conditions can differ across neighbourhoods and change throughout the day, so values may not represent every location or moment within the city.
