Air quality today
The air quality in Zittau today is classified as Moderate. The primary pollutant identified is PM2.5 (fine particles).
Measurements from four valid observations show a PM2.5 concentration of 11.901 µg/m³. No PM10 reference value is available for this assessment. 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 Zittau air‑quality record draws on six individual sensor rows, each reporting a single pollutant measured at the Zittau‑Ost site. All six common urban pollutants are represented: nitrogen monoxide (NO), nitrogen dioxide (NO₂), ozone (O₃), particulate matter ≤10 µm (PM₁₀), particulate matter ≤2.5 µm (PM₂.₅) and sulfur dioxide (SO₂). Because the dataset consists of only one monitoring location, spatial coverage across the city is limited to that point.
Freshness varies markedly between pollutants. The most recent updates were recorded on 2026‑02‑10 at 17:00 UTC for NO₂, O₃, PM₂.5 and SO₂, indicating data that are less than three days old. In contrast, the NO reading dates back to 2024‑03‑11 at 11:00 UTC and the PM₁₀ value to 2024‑01‑03 at 14:00 UTC, both flagged as “old data.” Consequently, while half of the pollutants provide near‑real‑time information, the other half rely on measurements that are more than a year old.
Across the six rows the reported values show virtually no spread: each pollutant has a single recorded figure that also serves as its minimum, median and maximum. NO registers 1.364 µg/m³, NO₂ 7.108 µg/m³, O₃ 47.737 µg/m³, PM₁₀ 1.802 µg/m³, PM₂.5 11.901 µg/m³ and SO₂ 0.5 µg/m³. This uniformity reflects the limited number of observations rather than a stable ambient condition. Users should keep in mind that conditions can differ across neighborhoods and over time, especially for those pollutants whose latest data are older than one year.

Data notes
The current dataset for Zittau includes four valid measurements and was refreshed recently, with the latest update recorded on 2026‑02‑10 at 17:00 UTC, meaning it is updated within three days. While this snapshot reflects recent conditions across the monitoring network, air quality can differ by specific location and time of day within the city, so values may not represent every neighbourhood at any given moment.
