Frequently Asked Questions

What are the European standards for particulate matter (PM10)?

Since January 1, 2010, the following European standards apply for particulate matter (PM10):
- Annual average limit: 20 μg/m³
- Daily limit: 50 μg/m³ (may be exceeded no more than 7 times per year).

What does this map show?

This map displays the concentration of particulate matter (PM10) across the Netherlands. The values are expressed in micrograms per cubic meter (μg/m³). The higher the value, the greater the air pollution in that area.

Where in the Netherlands is particulate matter concentration the highest?

The highest PM10 concentrations are typically found within 100 meters of busy highways and within 50 meters of busy urban roads. As a result, high concentrations are mainly measured in the larger municipalities of the Netherlands.
