Wageningen's air quality reflects its position as an university river town in Gelderland, with the A12 motorway and local commerce forming the main local emission sources. The nearby the Rhine river and the Grebbeberg hill assists dispersal, and the agricultural university town on the Veluwe edge means this area rarely strays far from typical Dutch air quality levels.

The remainder of the year tends to bring conditions typical of the Netherlands as a whole.

Are air quality levels in Wageningen 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.
