Waalwijk, known locally as a river-plain industrial town, sees air quality conditions typical of Noord-Brabant, with traffic on the A59 motorway and local industry contributing the main sources of urban pollution. With the Bergsche Maas river close by supporting air movement, and the historic leather and shoe industry shaping the local climate, conditions generally track the wider Dutch average.

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.
Are air quality levels in Waalwijk 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.
