Worst air pollution Amstelveen, today and tomorrow

On 21 July 2026, overall air quality in Amstelveen is fair. AQI is the main air quality indicator at 35.3/100. Pollution peaks around 6:00 AM (NO2: 35.3/100).

On 22 July 2026, air quality conditions in Amstelveen will be similar to today, with AQI forecast at fair at 21.8/100. Pollution peaks around 8:00 AM (O3: 21.8/100).

People visiting or living in Amstelveen generally notice the biggest dip in air quality across the spring and early-summer stretch, when birch, oak, and alder pollen peaks, or on windless, warm days when traffic on the A9 and industry emissions gather; the proximity to open water generally keeps dispersal conditions favourable. Most weeks outside these periods bring Amstelveen conditions close to the broader Dutch norm.

It is forecasts derived by downscaling forecasts provided by EU’s Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS) by taking into account local conditions such as traffic patterns. CAMS bases its forecast on satellite measurements of particles and chemical compounds in the atmosphere. Airmine’s services were developed with support from the European Space Agency (ESA)’s Business Applications and Space Solutions (BASS) team.

Airmine’s forecast uses CAMS (Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service) as its background atmospheric model. While CAMS includes wildfire emissions, these are derived from satellite observations and are not available in real time. During rapidly evolving wildfire events, there may therefore be a delay before increased emissions are incorporated into the model. As a result, the forecast may temporarily underestimate PM₂.₅ and other pollutants associated with wildfire smoke.

During rapidly evolving wildfire events, CAMS may lag by approximately 1–2 days before increased wildfire emissions are fully represented, which can lead to temporary underestimation of PM₂.₅ concentrations in Airmine’s forecast.
