Worst air pollution Veenendaal, today and tomorrow

On 21 July 2026, overall air quality in Veenendaal is fair. AQI is the main air quality indicator at 27.2/100. Pollution peaks around 5:00 PM (O3: 27.2/100).

On 22 July 2026, air quality conditions in Veenendaal will be better than today, with AQI forecast at good at 19.6/100. Pollution peaks around 11:00 AM (O3: 19.6/100).

Around Veenendaal, the clearest air quality dips tend to come when birch, oak, and pine pollen peaks during spring and the start of summer, or on calm, warm days when traffic on the A12 and local industry emissions accumulate; open country around the town generally supports reasonable dispersal. The rest of the year, Veenendaal generally sees air quality in line with typical Dutch levels.

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.
