Amsterdam's De Pijp records moderate Amsterdam air quality, with the dense residential character and popular market traffic on Ferdinand Bolstraat contributing to baseline NO₂ at typical inner Amsterdam levels. The Sarphatipark provides a small green buffer, while the Amstel river corridor to the east provides occasional ventilation on easterly winds.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is air quality bad in De Pijp right now?

On 21 July 2026, overall air quality in De Pijp is fair. AQI is the main air quality indicator at 23.8/100. Pollution peaks around 4:00 PM (O3: 23.8/100).

When is air pollution at its worst in De Pijp?

For Amsterdam's De Pijp, air quality is most affected in spring and early summer during the birch, oak, and alder pollen peak, and on calm, hot days when traffic and local industry add to emissions; onshore westerly winds off the North Sea keep the air moving. The calmer months in between generally keep Amsterdam's De Pijp close to typical Dutch air quality levels.

Are air quality levels in De Pijp based on measurements or forecasts?

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.

Why doesn’t the forecast always reflect wildfire impacts?

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.
