  1. Oslo just had a day with US AQI of 0.

    Electric vehicles help.

  2. what’s with that red spot in Germany? That’s Mainz/Wiesbaden and Ludwigshafen/Mannheim with a hint of Frankfurt I guess? Lack of wind?

  3. In soviet Portugal we are so poor, air controls your quality.

  4. Actual answer: sand particles from the sahara. It’s becoming a more and more frequent phenomenon in winter/spring. It’s coming here to the Pyrenees now today.

    If you look at this live webcam at 2800m on Pic du Midi in the French Pyrénées you will se it clearly up in the air: [https://picdumidi.com/fr/live-conditions/webcam](https://picdumidi.com/fr/live-conditions/webcam)

    If you have a weather app like Windy look for a “dust” map and you will see it overlaps exactly with your air quality map.

    Here some info about the last time it happened in late January: [https://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/images/152384/saharan-dust-blows-toward-europe](https://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/images/152384/saharan-dust-blows-toward-europe)

  5. Hello OP, could you link a source please for approval? thank you

  6. I’m sorry but how is air quality in Western Brittany the same as in smog-filled Paris?

  7. Why is Valencia so bad? I’m visiting there next month and was hoping to relax without giving myself breathing difficulties

  8. No way does the highlands of Scotland have worse air than London.

    Source. Live in the north of Scotland and go to London for work.

  9. Air quality map in Europe without Poland – main offender makes no sense

  10. Does anyone know what’s happening in the UK? The “fair” air quality is all the rural areas, but the “good” air quality is where it’s most industrial. I’m very confused how that could be
    What’s polluting the air in the Scottish mountains?

  11. The Highlands of Scotland has lower quality than the rest of Scotland?

    🙃

  12. why is the air in london better than in the rural north?

  13. This map looks wrong to me. Wales, Cornwall and Scotland surely have much cleaner air than the English Midlands.

  14. Valencia will be having really bad air quality during Fallas. This is well-known.

  15. Tf is happening in Frankfurt bruh, all Germany is good, but someone farted a bit too hard in Frankfurt.

  16. As a note on Valencia, we just had Fallas, where yesterday night hundreds of 2-3 floor tall wood/foam monuments were burned down after weeks of nonstop pyrotechnic shows and extensive usage of fireworks and firecrackers by the populace.

    Things will improve in a few days.
