Air quality today
The air quality today in Sunshine Coast Regional, Queensland, is classified as Good. The primary pollutant measured is PM2.5. The observed PM2.5 concentration is 3.8 µg/m³, while PM10 is 11.2 µg/m³. Five valid measurements support this assessment, collected from monitoring sites across the region. These measurements were recorded during the reporting period and are displayed via OpenAQ. The PM2.5 value of 3.8 µg/m³ aligns with the reference level used for assessment, and the PM10 reading of 11.2 µg/m³ provides additional context for particulate matter.
The data reflects current monitoring conditions without indicating any change from previous observations. No additional pollutants were identified as dominant in the available dataset. 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 Sunshine Coast Regional dataset pulls OpenAQ sensor readings for eight pollutants – nitrogen dioxide (NO₂), ozone (O₃), PM₁, PM₁₀, PM₂.₅, relative humidity, temperature and the particle count UM003. The data come from three monitoring stations and comprise 16 individual rows. Only five of those rows have been refreshed within the last three days, while the remaining eleven are classified as “old” measurements. This mix of recent and dated entries means that the snapshot reflects both current conditions for some pollutants and historical values for others.
For the particulate matter series, the most recent PM₁₀ reading is 10.6 µg/m³ recorded at Mountain Creek on 2026‑02‑10 22:00 UTC, with a median of 10.9 µg/m³ and a spread from 4.24 to 13.0 µg/m³ across the four recent rows. PM₂.₅ shows a tighter distribution: the latest value is 3.4 µg/m³ (Mountain Creek, 2026‑02‑10 22:00 UTC), median 3.95 µg/m³ and a range of 3.4–4.5 µg/m³. Ozone is also current, latest 0.009 ppm (Mountain Creek, 2026‑02‑10 22:00 UTC), median 0.0095 ppm and a narrow band from 0.009 to 0.01 ppm. In contrast, nitrogen dioxide is only available from an older record dated 2019‑05‑21 03:00 UTC, with values between 0.002 and 0.005 ppm and a median of 0.0035 ppm. The remaining four parameters – PM₁, relative humidity, temperature and UM003 – each have a single older entry from Caloundra on 2024‑10‑31 06:00 UTC, giving values of 2.54 µg/m³, 65.74 %, 25.36 °C and 599.91 particles/cm³ respectively. These points illustrate that while the dataset covers a broad set of pollutants, the freshness and depth of coverage vary markedly across them, and conditions can differ by location and time within the Sunshine Coast region.
