Worst air pollution Bergen op Zoom, today and tomorrow

On 23 August 2026, overall air quality in Bergen op Zoom is fair. AQI is the main air quality indicator at 35.5/100. Pollution peaks around 6:00 AM (NO2: 35.5/100).

On 24 August 2026, air quality conditions in Bergen op Zoom will be worse than today, with AQI forecast at moderate at 42.3/100. Pollution peaks around 5:00 AM (NO2: 42.3/100).

Bergen op Zoom typically sees the birch, oak, and pine pollen peak over the spring and early-summer period, alongside calm, warm days when traffic on the A4 and industry emissions accumulate, as the periods to watch; open countryside around the town usually prevents emissions from settling for long. Outside these windows, conditions in Bergen op Zoom rarely stray far from the national average.

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.
