Air quality today

The air quality in Taebaek‑si is currently classified as Moderate. The primary pollutant identified is PM2.5 (fine particles). Measurements show a PM2.5 concentration of 14.0 µg/m³ and a PM10 level of 27.0 µg/m³, based on six valid observations recorded by OpenAQ.

These values reflect the present conditions without implying any trend or cause. This page is informational; for health guidance, use official sources such as EPA AirNow or WHO.

What the data includes

The Taebaek‑si dataset includes six individual measurements taken at the 황지동 monitoring site, one for each of the six common air pollutants tracked by OpenAQ: carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen dioxide (NO₂), ozone (O₃), particulate matter 10 µm or less (PM₁₀), particulate matter 2.5 µm or less (PM₂.₅) and sulfur dioxide (SO₂). All six rows were recorded on 2026‑02‑10 at 17:00 UTC, which places every observation within the most recent seven‑day freshness window; there are no older or unknown‑date entries for this city.

Because each pollutant is represented by a single reading, the statistical spread is effectively zero – the minimum, median and maximum values are identical. CO registers 0.29 ppm, NO₂ 0.0066 ppm, O₃ 0.0412 ppm, PM₁₀ 27.0 µg/m³, PM₂.₅ 14.0 µg/m³ and SO₂ 0.0011 ppm. This uniformity means the dataset does not capture variability over time or across different locations within Taebaek‑si; it provides a snapshot rather than a range of conditions.

The coverage is therefore limited to one monitoring point, but that point supplies up‑to‑date information for all six pollutants. Users should keep in mind that air quality can differ throughout the city and may change after the timestamp provided, so the figures represent the state of the atmosphere at the specific moment recorded rather than a comprehensive view of ongoing conditions.
