Not an expert, but I’m gonna guess that geography (altitude, winds) play a huge role in the air quality. Most of the areas with bad air quality are quite flat.

That happens, sometimes it is right over germany, other times the pollution is somewhere else, it depends on how winds are going right now a lot

„Berlino“ sounds so cute.

Most likely a combination of:
* lack of wind
* foggy, cloudy
* a loooot more heating going on this time of year
* possibly more i don’t think of immediately

i love Monaco di Baviera as opposed to Monaco di Monaco

the weather conditions lead to something called an inversion. This basically means that the temperature increases with height which makes it very difficult for air to mix vertically (cold air moved upwards sits in warmer air and wants to sink again). So pollution emitted near the ground stays near the ground, where normally it would be mixed upwards to several hundred meters height. Combine that with low winds and pollution isn’t being moved much horizontally either.
So unfortunately it’s just that we’re now forced to sit our own shit, rather than being able to spread it all around the whole atmosphere.

It’s called „Atomausstieg“

Moved out of WestBerlin to get away from the ‘Communists’ brown coal burning in 1986- now we have become like them

The weather over the last days has favored poor air quality. There is hardly any winds and the current air layers (temperature inversion. I.e. upper air masses being warmer than lower ones) prevent proper vertical circulation.
We’re basically sitting in our stale air right now, because nature has decided to keep the windows shut, there is no ventilation. And every fart adds to this…

It is called an inversion weather situation when cold air is trapped under a dome under warmer air. When you have this for two weeks all the car and coal pollution shows.

The south of Poland air situation is spreading to neighbours hahaha

Monaco di Bavaria sounds just a horrible as Munich is in real life. Rich brats and no space.

Using coal and gas instead of nuclear.

Munich seems to be the „Monaco of Bavaria“ in (I think it is Italian). Lol

It’s fart gases because of Trump inauguration

Why is there such a big difference between the UK side of the Channel and the NL/BE/FR side?
Topography, weather, wind conditions should be more or less the same?

How is Hamburg, a densely-populated city, an island of good air quality among the less-densely-populated countryside?

Many Autobahnen in those regions.

I saw this same type of question on a belgium sub, where someone responsed with: “ OP is or not in the country and/or never has been or just woke up out of a coma and hasn’t been outside for the last 2-4 moths“
I stand with it.
(not that I can say anything about the high pollution, since I haven’t been to Germany in a while but I figured it is a bit the same weather as in The Netherlands)

What is weird to me is that the air quality in Hamburg is apparently better than in all parts surrounding it which really doesn’t make any sense since the industry and especially the Harbour usually produce much worse air quality than the mostly agricultural area surrounding it.

Great to see our tax money hard at work 🥴
