Belgium here, PM2.5 levels are pretty much costantly above 20μg/L during the summer. 50% more if you live in a city like Leuven.
I wonder what levels of PM10 vs 2.5 or more NO2 or so will cause worse effects?
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)
