What affects air quality for runners in Amsterdam
Amsterdam often reports moderate overall air quality, yet street-level exposure varies by route and time of day. Nitrogen dioxide concentrations are higher near busy roads and tunnel access points, while quieter canal streets can remain noticeably cleaner. Regional airflow from surrounding urban and industrial areas also shifts background pollution levels.
