Particles in the air, compared to the recommended limit

The line on the bar is the World Health Organization daily limit. Everything to the left is within the recommendation, everything to the right is over it.

PM2,5 16,6 µg/m³
The finest particles, they reach deep into the lungs and the bloodstream. Preporuka SZO je najviše 15 µg/m³ dnevno.
PM10 21,2 µg/m³
Coarser particles, they stay in the upper airways. Preporuka SZO je najviše 45 µg/m³ dnevno.

Pollen today

Concentration of the most common allergen pollens in the air above Belgrade, in grains per cubic meter.

  • Ragweed 125,6 high
  • Mugwort 3 low
  • Grasses 2,1 low
  • Birch 0 negligible
  • Alder 0 negligible

Ragweed is our strongest allergen in late summer. Mowing it before it flowers is the only measure that really helps.

How to read this page

What EAQI is

The European Air Quality Index sums up several pollutants into a single number. It takes the worst of them, so a value of 40 means at least one substance is at the limit, not that the average is mediocre.

Where the particles come from

In winter mostly from individual coal and wood stoves, and all year round from traffic, construction sites and industry. That is why the air is worst in neighborhoods without district heating and along busy roads.

What trees can do here

A canopy catches particles on its leaves, and a row of trees along the street lowers their concentration on the sidewalk. A tree does not fix the source of the pollution, but it cuts down what you breathe in as you walk by.

How accurate the measurement is

The data comes from the European CAMS model, which combines satellite observations and a network of ground stations. For your street the value can differ from the whole city, especially at a busy intersection.
