Dordrecht's air quality reflects the Rhine-Maas-Waal delta position at the Dutch waterway junction, with vehicle traffic on the A16 and surrounding chemical and logistics industry contributing elevated industrial and traffic emissions. The flat Dutch delta plain and the Rotterdam industrial complex upwind elevate background PM2.5 and NO₂ throughout the year.

On 23 August 2026, overall air quality in Dordrecht is moderate. AQI is the main air quality indicator at 45.4/100. Pollution peaks around 6:00 AM (NO2: 45.4/100).
Will air quality be worse tomorrow in Dordrecht?
On 24 August 2026, air quality conditions in Dordrecht will be similar to today, with AQI forecast at moderate at 43.3/100. Pollution peaks around 5:00 AM (NO2: 43.3/100).
When is air pollution at its worst in Dordrecht?
Dordrecht tends to see its biggest air quality dips in spring and early summer, when birch, oak, and alder pollen peaks, or on still, warm days when traffic on the A16 and industry emissions linger; the flat polder terrain and sea proximity generally support decent air movement. The calmer months in between generally keep Dordrecht close to typical Dutch air quality levels.
Are air quality levels in Dordrecht 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.
