Kampen's air quality reflects the IJssel river valley position on the former Zuiderzee in the Overijssel-Flevoland border, with vehicle traffic on the N50 and surrounding agricultural and light manufacturing operations contributing local sources. The flat Dutch IJssel delta landscape provides reasonable dispersal on most days, while consistent North Sea westerlies carry relatively clean Atlantic air and the surrounding IJsselmeer open water provides natural ventilation, generally maintaining Kampen at moderate Dutch provincial urban air quality levels throughout the year.

Is air quality bad in Kampen right now?
On 23 August 2026, overall air quality in Kampen is fair. AQI is the main air quality indicator at 23.5/100. Pollution peaks around 3:00 PM (O3: 23.5/100).
Will air quality be worse tomorrow in Kampen?
On 24 August 2026, air quality conditions in Kampen will be worse than today, with AQI forecast at moderate at 43.2/100. Pollution peaks around 6:00 AM (NO2: 43.2/100).
When is air pollution at its worst in Kampen?
Kampen typically sees the birch, oak, and pine pollen peak in spring and early summer, alongside calm, warm days when traffic on the N50 and industry emissions accumulate, as the periods to watch; the rolling Twente and Salland countryside generally supports good dispersal. Most weeks outside these periods bring Kampen conditions close to the broader Dutch norm.
Are air quality levels in Kampen 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.
