Air quality today

The air quality in Yangon City is classified as USG today. The primary pollutant identified is PM2.5, with a measured concentration of 48.66 µg/m³ based on five valid observations reported through OpenAQ.

Data indicate that fine particulate matter dominates the current profile, while no reference value for PM10 is available. This page is informational; for health guidance, use official sources such as EPA AirNow or WHO.

What the data includes

The dataset for Yangon City pulls in measurements from seven rows of sensor readings collected at two monitoring stations. It includes six pollutants and atmospheric variables: ozone (O₃), fine particulate matter (PM₂.5), coarse particles (PM1), relative humidity, temperature, and ultrafine particle count (UM003). Most of the values were recorded very recently – the latest timestamps for PM₂.5, PM1, relative humidity, temperature and UM003 are all from 2026‑02‑10 22:00 UTC, which falls within the “updated within seven days” freshness bucket. In contrast, the ozone reading is dated 2021‑03‑09 21:00 UTC and is flagged as old data, so the O₃ information does not reflect current conditions.

For the pollutants with fresh data, the range of PM₂.5 values spans from about 39 µg/m³ up to roughly 48.7 µg/m³, with a median near 43.8 µg/m³, indicating modest variability across the sampled points. PM1 is represented by a single measurement of approximately 31.2 µg/m³, while relative humidity is consistently recorded at about 64.7 % and temperature at roughly 25.6 °C for all recent rows. The ultrafine particle count (UM003) shows a uniform value of around 2,140 particles per cubic centimetre.

Overall the coverage is uneven: five of the six measured variables have up‑to‑date observations from multiple rows, but ozone is only available from an outdated record, and the dataset contains just two distinct stations. Because the sensor network is limited in both spatial extent and timeliness for some pollutants, the reported figures capture a snapshot rather than the full range of conditions that can occur across Yangon at any given moment.
