During the Pandemic many people worked from home. Things were getting better then.
Nowadays everything i back to normal again and I see more traffic than ever before.
Sorry but this is very obviously traffic jams or car/truck traffic.
You can clearly see all the places with heavy traffic and traffic jams are were the red spots are at.
If you don’t measure, you’re fine.

Honest question: most answers in here are: cars and industry. Doesn’t the netherlands also have cars and even more dense industry than us? How is their air cleaner ( as i can see on the Map)?
I’m surprised Paris looks reasonable. I’m also curious what’s going on and if the data is even correct.
Living in Antwerp, Ghent or Brussels is the equivalent of smoking a pack a day
A lot
Wood burning, especially badly dried or processed wood
Industry. Belgium is the cheapest country for chemical and heavy material plants and also keeps investing tax payer’s money into those polluting industries (to keep the employment up).
In Limburg for example, electric cars are more rare than elsewhere in Flanders. Also, it is very common to heat your home with a wood burning stove in Limburg. Yet, pollution is very low. So don’t believe the elitarian propaganda that states it’s the little guy that’s to blame. Nope, all government!
Don’t trust Apple’s reporting. I don’t know where they get their data, but it almost never corresponds to what Vlaanderen is actively reporting.

Is the insane car culture the primary reason?
In Flanders you mean?
Traffic jams?
Fijn Stof/PM2.5 caused from wood burning, industrial pollution, too many cars, no wind. There is no reason to have a wood burning stove in a densely-populated city if you have central heat.

What are you measuring? Nox? Ep25?

Aardgas zodanig opjagen dat mensen teruggrijpen naar hout en kolen.
Wreed slim.
The real question is why isn’t there air in Luxembourg
Industry.
You posted a chart with pretty colours without source or explanation. Is this actual data or a yearly average?
Looking at the actual BelAQI chart in Flanders shows a different picture:

Completely unrelated, but I’m rather surprised Dunkerque is written in it’s Flemish writing, but Lille and Liège are written in their french writing
Een baksteen in de maag (tot daar geen probleem), maar ook een auto in het hoofd.
Cars.
One word: frietkot.
Belgians live there
Traffic and kachels
Sorry, i had too much broccoli yesterday
A lot of it comes from the Sahara
