Bremen-Nord: Air quality in the green area-but threatening new EU requirements!

Bremen-Nord: Air quality in the green area-but threatening new EU requirements!

Vegesack, Deutschland - In Bremen-Nord, the current pollutant measurements have given pleasant messages: All limit values ​​are observed, as weser Kurier reports. This evaluation comes from the Bremen air monitoring system (blues), which monitors the air quality in the region with the help of nine measuring stations. Among them are six stations in the inner city area, two in Bremerhaven and one on the site of the professional fire brigade on Aumunder Feldstraße, which is only 300 meters from the Autobahn 270.

It is particularly noteworthy that a significant improvement in air quality has been determined in recent years. Falling fine dust and nitrogen dioxide concentrations help to ensure that the air conditions are steadily better. There are positive feedback among the experts of the Blues team, which are also underpinned by the latest data. The current nitrogen dioxide values ​​are between 26 and 27 micrograms per cubic meter, which is above the EU limit of 20 micrograms, which will be binding from 2030, but still shows that progress is made.

future challenges

With a view to the new EU air quality guideline, which will come into force in December 2026 and will be binding from 2030, not only the current measured values ​​are of interest. This guideline requires a significant reduction in nitrogen dioxide load in German air. The revised guideline, which adapts the limit values ​​according to the latest scientific knowledge, was already discussed in the European Parliament and accepted in October 2024. In the future, a continuous reduction in nitrogen dioxide and fine dust loads will be sought, which is a significant challenge for the cities like Bremen. According to [Federal Environment Agency] (https://www.umweltbundamt.de/themen/luft/regelungen-strategies/lufturstichten-in-der-eu/ueeberbagung-der- Directive-zur-zur-zur-zur-zur-zur-zur-zur-zur-zur-zur-zur-

Particularly attentive citizens: The focus was on the beginning of the year when a special measurement program was launched in Oslebshausen due to residents' suits on air pollution. All limit values ​​could be observed here, also in the vicinity of the West industrial area. This positive news is a ray of hope, but warns about the wing expert: inside for caution. In your analysis, you make it clear that health impairments for sensitive people cannot be ruled out for values ​​above the border and guideline values. Especially for people with heart or respiratory diseases, it is recommended to avoid physical exertion.

The role of weather conditions

Another interesting aspect of air quality is the role of weather conditions. These not only influence the distribution, but also the concentration of pollutants in the air. Therefore, weather data is regularly evaluated to predict potential loads and, if necessary, take measures to improve air quality. The experts: Inside, it is optimistic that ongoing surveillance will not only help to comply with the existing EU guidelines, but also ensure further progress in air pollution control.

In the coming week, the environmental deputation of the Bremen citizens will again deal with air quality. Senator for the environment, climate and science, Kathrin Moosdorf, has already expressed her satisfaction with the current analysis and emphasizes that the goal is still to improve air quality.

The Bremen Air Measurement Network offers access to daily up -to -date measurements for everyone who is interested in daily air quality. Here, interested citizens can at any time view the latest data and find out about possible health effects.
