Air Quality Monitor 2025: Air is Getting Cleaner, Improvement Still Needed Air quality along Dutch roads in 2024 mostly met the European nitrogen dioxide emission standards. Near livestock farms, fine particulate concentrations exceeded limits at eight locations in five municipalities. Stricter European air quality standards will apply from 2030 to better protect health.

Monitor Luchtkwaliteit 2025: lucht wordt steeds schoner, verbetering blijft nodig De luchtkwaliteit langs Nederlandse wegen voldeed in 2024 bijna overal aan de Europese norm voor uitstoot van stikstofdioxide. Bij veehouderijen waren de berekende concentraties fijnstof in 2024 op acht locaties in vijf gemeenten hoger dan de norm. Vanaf 2030 komen er strengere Europese normen voor luchtkwaliteit om de gezondheid beter te beschermen.

Fine dust: the lethal role of endotoxins discovered The dark side of fine dust has been discovered: bacterial toxins cause inflammation 10.000 times more intense than their concentration.

While we measure metals and gases in fine particles, invisible bacteria trigger inflammation 100,000 times more potent. The amplified effect no one measures.

Why do we use gasoline for small vehicles and diesel fuel for big vehicles? Both gasoline and diesel fuel are refined from crude oil, but they are good for different things and can’t be used interchangeably.
