Opens on the latest month; scroll back for earlier years. A cell counts the days with at least one daily reading. A station stays on the grid after it stops; silence is not proof of closure.

Silence is not proof of closure: a station can restart, and OpenAQ can return it again.

Readings quality

Across 34,824 daily readings

Partial days: 21,978
Flagged by provider: 3,770
Negative values: 3
No value: 506

A partial day has fewer than 18 of its 24 hours reported; a day can be partial and flagged at once, so these overlap. Every station here carries a license in OpenAQ's records.
