What affects air quality for runners in Berlin
Berlin generally benefits from good regional airflow, yet local pollution hotspots remain clear near high-volume roads, freight corridors, and transport interchanges. Nitrogen dioxide rises most during commuting peaks, while particulate concentrations respond to both local emissions and broader regional transport. Differences between inner districts and greener outer areas can be substantial.
