Air quality on the knieperdamm: fine dust alarm in Stralsund!

Stralsund, Deutschland - On June 21, 2025, the air quality in Stralsund-Knäudamm shows that the topics of fine dust, nitrogen dioxide and ozone are very popular again. The measuring station in the area detects the fine dust particles (PM10) per cubic meter of air every day. The limit for PM10 is 50 particles per cubic meter, whereby this value may be exceeded up to 35 times annually. A look at the current values ​​shows that the air quality is evaluated using three values: fine dust, nitrogen dioxide and ozone. While the limit values ​​for these pollutants are divided into categories - from "very bad" to "very good" - the health effect is also of great importance for the population.

like the Ostsee-Zeitung Reported, the following limit values ​​apply: For the "very bad" area, the values ​​are over 200 μg/m³ for nitrogen dioxide, over 100 μg/m³ for fine dust and over 240 μg/m³ for ozone. Sensitive people should avoid physical exertion outdoors with very bad air quality. With an air classified as "poorly", you should reduce effort, while "moderately" no short -term health effects are expected, but with particularly sensitive groups. In the EU, air pollution demands more than ever our attention, since 240,000 premature deaths are due to fine dust.

EU plans new limit values ​​for better air quality

Like a report of the Tagesschau further focuses on the urgency of air pollution. With over 300,000 deaths in the EU in 2021 solely due to air pollution alone, it becomes clear once again how important effective measures are. Even if Germany has some successes in air pollution control, the country is decisively dependent on compliance with the new limit values. It is even discussed that citizens are entitled to compensation in the future if they suffer health impairments due to non -compliance.
