Air quality in Hanover: Alarming fine dust values ​​discovered!

Hannover, Deutschland - In Hanover, air quality is a hot topic! Alarming values ​​for fine dust were found at the measuring station in Göttinger Straße in Linden-Süd. The critical limit of 50 micrograms per cubic meter of air may only be exceeded 35 times each year to avoid EU penalties. Current measurements show that the air quality fluctuates strongly in the city, with three main values ​​being recorded: fine dust, nitrogen dioxide and ozone. It is particularly concerned that 240,000 premature deaths in the EU are due to fine dust.

The Federal Environment Agency warns: In “bad” air, sensitive people should avoid physical exertion outdoors. In “very bad” air, health risks can occur. In contrast, the air for "good" or "very good" is harmless to outdoor activities. Fireworks qualification, which is one of the fine dust sources, releases around 2050 tons of fine dust, especially on New Year's Eve. This burden may increase at short notice, but only affects the annual value minimally. For further information on air quality in Hanover, see www.haz.de .
