Air pollution alarm: Critical fine dust levels in several cities!
In recent days, air quality in several cities in Germany has become increasingly concerning. So on November 7th, 2025 in Neubrandenburg A fine dust alarm was triggered and critical concentrations of fine dust were detected. Similar warning signs also emerged Lutherstadt Wittenberg, where fine dust pollution was also classified as unhealthy.
At the end of October, city specialists warned Berlin and Wuppertal due to particulate matter and nitrogen dioxide exceeding normal air quality limits. Particularly worrying are the values in cities like Dortmund, Marburg and Burghausen were measured.
Be careful with air pollution
Air quality not only affects the health of citizens, but also has far-reaching consequences for the environment. In order to better assess the risk of air pollution, reference is made to the Europe-wide data from the Atmosphere Monitoring Service of the European Project Copernicus. This system produces forecasts of pollutants such as ozone, nitrogen dioxide and particulate matter, which are important for many countries in Europe. This uses data from seven different European model systems to provide a comprehensive picture of air quality, reports Federal Environment Agency.
In addition, the European Environment Agency (EEA) offers an air quality index for all member states, accessible via an app on Android and iOS. Interested citizens can access current air quality data at any time and find out about pollution levels in their region. The ZAMG, in turn, calculates European pollution from PM10 and ozone in order to enable precise forecasts.
Digital access to air quality
Another aspect is that the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Health Effects Institute (HEI) also collect data on air quality worldwide. This information is crucial for strategies aimed at reducing air pollution and protecting the health of the population in the long term.
In view of current developments, it is essential for the population to inform themselves about their own surroundings and, if necessary, to make behavioral changes. This also includes avoiding driving or staying indoors when pollutant levels are high.
Air quality is an issue that affects us all. Detailed information and ongoing updates not only provide insight into the current situation, but also a valuable basis for future decisions on environmental and health protection.
