Worst air pollution Rijswijk, today and tomorrow

On 21 July 2026, overall air quality in Rijswijk is fair. AQI is the main air quality indicator at 25.9/100. Pollution peaks around 4:00 PM (O3: 25.9/100).

On 22 July 2026, air quality conditions in Rijswijk will be similar to today, with AQI forecast at fair at 22.4/100. Pollution peaks around 4:00 PM (O3: 22.4/100).

For Rijswijk, 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 on the A4 and local industry add to emissions; the open river-delta setting means conditions rarely stay poor for long. Outside these windows, Rijswijk generally stays close to the national average for air quality.

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.
