Highest current reading: 66.0 µg/m³ (书院路 (中国环境监测总站 (CNEMC) — 国家城市环境空气质量监测网)). Lowest: 8.0 µg/m³ (桃花源中路 (中国环境监测总站 (CNEMC) — 国家城市环境空气质量监测网)). The list shows every sensor, highest first.

Where do these data come from?

From Atmy sensors and connected public networks (citizen, experimental and government monitors), aggregated by Atmy. Values are approximate; see the methodology.

How often is this page updated?

The summary is rebuilt every 15 minutes from the latest reading of each sensor, each no older than one hour.

Data

Where do these data come from?

The daily value is the Data Hub’s: the mean of the city’s sensors that passed the nightly quality check, each with at least 12 valid hours, and only with sensors at four places 500 m apart; days are UTC.

“Now” uses the same sensors and rule: the mean of their latest readings, each at most 60 minutes old, shown only with sensors at four places 500 m apart reporting.
