Air quality today
The air quality in Veendam today falls into the USG (Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups) category. The primary pollutant identified is PM2.5, fine particulate matter, with a measured concentration of 41.49 µg/m³ based on five valid observations reported through OpenAQ.
These measurements reflect the current conditions without additional context or interpretation. 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 Veendam air‑quality record consists of a single monitoring location – Golfeiland Veendam – which supplies data for six different parameters: PM1, PM10, PM2.5, relative humidity, temperature and the particle counter UM003. Because there is only one row in the dataset, the coverage is limited to this spot rather than representing the whole city.
The most recent measurements were taken on 2026‑02‑10 at 22:00 UTC for five of the pollutants (PM1, PM2.5, relative humidity, temperature and UM003), showing values of 24.179833316802974 µg/m³, 41.486000061035156 µg/m³, 71.17300020853678 %, 8.397666772206625 °C and 3333.625 particles/cm³ respectively. PM10 is the outlier: its latest reading dates back to 2025‑01‑13 at 23:00 UTC with a concentration of 60.66812515258789 µg/m³, indicating that this metric has not been updated for over a year.
All six parameters have a single recorded value, so the minimum, median and maximum are identical for each pollutant. This means there is no observed spread or variability within the dataset; the reported figures represent a snapshot rather than a range of conditions. The freshness of the data therefore varies markedly: five pollutants are up‑to‑date within the last week, while PM10 remains old. Because only one station contributes, any temporal or spatial changes in Veendam’s air quality cannot be captured, and conditions elsewhere in the city may differ from those recorded at Golfeiland.

Data notes
The data shown for Veendam are based on five valid measurements and were refreshed recently, having been updated within three days (last update 2026‑02‑10T22:00:00+00:00). This snapshot reflects conditions at the time of collection; air quality can differ across neighborhoods and change throughout the day, so values may not represent every location or moment in the city.
