Worst air pollution Voorburg, today and tomorrow

On 9 August 2026, overall air quality in Voorburg is fair. O3 is the main pollutant at 27.6/100. Pollution peaks around 10:00 PM (NO2: 48.2/100).

On 10 August 2026, air quality conditions in Voorburg will be similar to today, with O3 forecast at fair at 26.8/100. Pollution peaks around 2:00 AM (NO2: 48.2/100).

People visiting or living in Voorburg generally notice the biggest dip in air quality through spring and into early summer, when birch, oak, and alder pollen peaks, or on windless, warm days when traffic on the A12 and industry emissions gather; coastal winds off the North Sea help clear local emissions. The rest of the year, Voorburg 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.
