Masullas: air quality today

AIR QUALITY
Fair
European Air Quality Index (EAQI)

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

How reliable is this data?

Model estimate

There are no monitoring stations close enough here: the value is an estimate from the European Copernicus CAMS model (~10 km grid), not a direct measurement.

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

Data sources

Station measurements are collected by the regional environmental agencies and published by the EEA; the model, pollen and UV come from Copernicus CAMS.

Today's main driver
Fair
Ozone

Right now the index in Masullas 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.
3.2 µg/m³
model estimate
Good
Particles PM10
Particles suspended in the air (dust, smoke, soot) produced by traffic, heating and industry.
5.4 µg/m³
model estimate
Good
Nitrogen dioxide
A gas linked above all to vehicle exhaust: in cities it is the thermometer of traffic.
1.6 µg/m³
model estimate
Good
Ozone
It forms in sunlight from other pollutants: the typical pollutant of hot, sunny summer days.
63.3 µg/m³
model estimate
Fair
Sulphur dioxide
A gas produced by burning sulphur-containing fuels, rare today thanks to cleaner fuels.
0.1 µg/m³
model estimate
Good
Carbon monoxide
A gas produced by incomplete combustion (engines, stoves). It is not part of the European index: we show it for completeness.
136.3 µg/m³
model estimate

Pollen today

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.

And in the nearby towns?

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

Position 32 of 87 towns in the province for clean air, right now, tied with 55 other towns.

This time of year

Autumn brings the first temperature inversions: the air stagnates more often and particles start building up again.

Today's UV index
5UV
Moderate · peak of the day

In the central hours it is best to seek shade and use sunscreen if you stay outdoors for long.

Copernicus CAMS model estimate: the peak usually falls in the central hours.
