Goodness are we really going to keep getting this question every week.
Tja .. most belgians are SUV driving, badly isolated house owning, technology fearing climate Change deniers .. thats what’s up
The mazout and pellets burning are having a hard time keeping the houses warm.
T is misschien … winter? Nog van het gezellige haardvuur en t stoveke gehoord in alle verkavelingskes te lande?, + praktisch geen wind, tja.
Cold + no wind.
Went for a run and I smelled like I was at a campfire all evening
Usual shit.. industry chemical plants.. trucks everywhere.. Cars to many everywhere.. and all thé idiots in them..
Pls url van ie screenshot, thanks.
No wind and wood burning (which is responsible for tons of particulates pollution), that’s what. It stinks o wood burning outside so I can only imagine what we are breathing. What does the city wait for regulating…
Seasonal/variational aspects:
1) heating (more pm2.5, more NO2)
2) lack of wind (air polution doesn’t dissipate)
3) less sunlight (amplified with fog) means less NOx gets transformed into Ozone, which I feel like these maps don’t take into account.
Other more constant aspects include sources like: cars, airports, ships, industry, but also urban canyons that trap air polution etc.
If it’s today, my extra guess would also be more traffic due to the strikes.
Why complain? Air quality is 10/10.
/S
Living between Bastogne & Saint-Hubert, everything seems fine.
Question we should be asking is why is Kampenhout so much better than the surroundings? I guess there really is no wind huh?
I was looking at the same map today. Soon we’ll have smog alarm again, I think.
Pretty stupid question …

I’m at 8 not great not terrible 🥸
What did you expect with today’s strike? More people are pushed to use their cars to get to work (and back) instead of using public transport.
Sorry, I had beans earlier.
No wind. Winter, thus more heating related pollution. And cars. Way too many cars. Which is a all year long issue anyway.
People say this is wind, but if there is wind constantly this pollution is still there, just ‘out there’
Is this the Weather app? It always exaggerates. It’s better to check the VMM website as they use more accurate measurements. As I’m typing this, there are very few places where it’s actually 10 (mostly highways) and most areas are 6 or 7.
Cold, so more burning of fuel
Little wind, so pollution fails to dissipate
High local diesel usage, so worse than most places
Very high density, so more cars concentrated in the city, and each unit of pollution affects more people
Shithead pro -pollution politicians and lobbyists on one side and very low ambition politicians on the other side
Hey presto
What’s with the “what’s with the air quality” posts lately?
We are a small and densely populated country with lots of petrochemical factories. Of course we’re gonna have bad air quality. And when there’s low wind it gets worse. Have you paid attention in school?

What is up with this question … ?
It has been asked way more suddenly.
There is no wind, that is what’s up.
