Estimated right now
Good · 48≈ 9.5 µg/m³ PM2.5 · cross-validated ±2.39 µg/m³
Interpolated from 5 monitors within 12 km (nearest 5.7 km). A monitor is close by, so this is reasonably representative of local conditions.

Richmond & nearby monitors
Coloured points are the monitors feeding the estimate.
How this estimate works: Richmond has no air-quality monitor of its own, so we estimate PM2.5 by inverse-distance weighting the nearest official government monitors (closer monitors count for more), validated by leave-one-out cross-validation (±2.39 µg/m³). We show exactly which monitors fed the number and how far away they are. We never invent a reading for a place we can't measure.
