Worst air pollution Waalwijk, today and tomorrow

On 9 August 2026, overall air quality in Waalwijk is fair. NO2 is the main pollutant at 32.2/100. Pollution peaks around 5:00 PM (O3: 59.0/100).

On 10 August 2026, air quality conditions in Waalwijk will be similar to today, with AQI forecast at fair at 26.7/100. Pollution peaks around 2:00 PM (O3: 26.7/100).

In Waalwijk, air quality is most likely to dip when pollen from birch, oak, and pine peaks over the spring and early-summer period, or on hot, still days when local traffic on the A59 and industry let emissions build up; open sandy farmland around the town helps keep pollutants from building up. For most of the year, air quality here tracks closely with typical conditions across the Netherlands.

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.
