What affects air quality for runners in Stockholm
Stockholm typically enjoys cleaner regional air than many large capitals, but local hotspots still appear near heavy-traffic roads, bridges, and enclosed street segments. Even with good baseline conditions, short-term spikes can be significant for sensitive groups. Wind shifts across the archipelago frequently change neighborhood-level exposure in a matter of hours.
