Wow, I always thought Barcelona (where I live) was much worse, turns out it’s just a bit worse … clocking in at 17μg right now … sometimes up to 40, esp. in the Summer.
Yeah particularly Flanders in Belgium gets absolutely wrecked by the massive meat industry and pollution of the Netherlands and the amount of diesel cars still in use. Our air quality levels are about the same as NL while going south to wallonia or France increases air quality drastically (drops to 5μg/L)
