Ede's air quality reflects its position on the Veluwe's forested glacial ridge in the Gelderse Vallei, with vehicle traffic on the A12 and A30 motorways and the surrounding agricultural and defence industry contributing local sources. The Veluwe's extensive forested heathland provides a natural clean-air buffer, while consistent North Sea westerlies generally maintain Ede among the Netherlands' more moderate urban environments and the forested setting reduces local particulate exposure.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is air quality bad in Ede right now?

On 23 August 2026, overall air quality in Ede is fair. AQI is the main air quality indicator at 25.0/100. Pollution peaks around 6:00 AM (NO2: 25.0/100).

Will air quality be worse tomorrow in Ede?

On 24 August 2026, air quality conditions in Ede will be worse than today, with AQI forecast at moderate at 40.6/100. Pollution peaks around 6:00 AM (NO2: 40.6/100).

When is air pollution at its worst in Ede?

Ede typically sees the birch, oak, and pine pollen peak during spring and the start of summer, alongside calm, warm days when traffic on the A12 and industry emissions accumulate, as the periods to watch; nearby woodland and open fields generally help keep the air clear. The rest of the year, Ede generally sees air quality in line with typical Dutch levels.

Are air quality levels in Ede 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.
