Right now the index in Maglie is set by Ozone: it is the pollutant weighing most on the air you breathe.

It forms in sunlight from other pollutants: the typical pollutant of hot, sunny summer days.

The pollutants, one by one

The concentrations estimated right now, translated into the European index bands.

Fine particles PM2.5
The finest particles, able to reach deep into the lungs: they come from traffic, heating and combustion.
2.5 µg/m³
Good
Particles PM10
Particles suspended in the air (dust, smoke, soot) produced by traffic, heating and industry.
11.6 µg/m³
model estimate
Good
Nitrogen dioxide
A gas linked above all to vehicle exhaust: in cities it is the thermometer of traffic.
2.4 µg/m³
Good
Ozone
It forms in sunlight from other pollutants: the typical pollutant of hot, sunny summer days.
99.5 µg/m³
Fair
Sulphur dioxide
A gas produced by burning sulphur-containing fuels, rare today thanks to cleaner fuels.
4 µg/m³
Good
Carbon monoxide
A gas produced by incomplete combustion (engines, stoves). It is not part of the European index: we show it for completeness.
0.2 µg/m³

Advice for today

The air is acceptable overall: no limits on your usual outdoor activities.

For more sensitive people

No special precautions needed, even for more sensitive people.

General guidance based on the European air quality index bands: it does not replace medical advice. If you live with asthma, respiratory or heart conditions, significant allergies, or are pregnant, follow your doctor's or specialist's advice.

How reliable is this data?

Lower reliability

The nearest monitoring station (“Arnesano - Riesci”) is about 30.5 km away: the further from the stations, the more uncertain the estimate.

Measurements and the European model tell the same story: a good sign of a solid estimate.

Every value shown is an estimate for the municipal area, not an exact point measurement.

And in the nearby towns?

The current index in the towns around: air does not stop at borders.

The cleanest air in the province right now

This time of year

With strong sunshine and heat, the typical summer pollutant is ozone, which rises in the central hours of the sunniest days.

Today's UV index
