Air quality today
The air quality in Zwickau today is classified as Good. The primary pollutant measured is PM2.5, with a reported concentration of 8.24 µg/m³ based on two valid observations from OpenAQ data.
These values indicate that fine particle levels are within the range associated with the Good category. 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 dataset for Zwickau includes measurements of four key pollutants: nitrogen monoxide (NO), nitrogen dioxide (NO₂), particulate matter ≤ 10 µm (PM₁₀) and particulate matter ≤ 2.5 µm (PM₂.₅). All four pollutants are represented by a single monitoring row each, giving a total of four data rows for the city.
The timestamps show an uneven picture of freshness. The most recent updates are for NO₂ and PM₂.5, both recorded on 2026-02-10 17:00 UTC, which means those values reflect conditions within the last three days. In contrast, the NO measurement dates back to 2024-03-11 11:00 UTC and the PM₁₀ reading is from 2024-01-03 14:00 UTC, indicating that for these two pollutants the available data are older than a year. Consequently, while half of the pollutant set offers near‑real‑time information, the other half relies on historic values.
The numeric values themselves show very little variation because each pollutant is represented by a single observation. NO registers at 4.781 µg/m³, NO₂ at 18.939 µg/m³, PM₁₀ at 1.807 µg/m³ and PM₂.5 at 8.24 µg/m³; each figure is both the minimum and maximum for its series. This lack of spread means the dataset cannot illustrate typical ranges or fluctuations within Zwickau. Because only one monitoring location (Zwickau‑Werdauer Str.) supplies data, spatial differences across the city are not captured, and conditions can vary by neighbourhood and time beyond what these four rows convey.

Data notes
The data shown for Zwickau reflects two 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. These figures provide a current snapshot of air quality across the city, but conditions can differ by specific location and time of day, so values may vary locally.
