Many people in Germany take clean breathing air for granted. But there are also areas in our country where the air quality is not perfect – and in some regions of the world the pollution is extremely hazardous to health.
That is why the non-profit World Air Quality Index project has existed since 2007. It is intended to make people around the world aware of how badly the air is polluted in some regions. A large amount of information is collected at 30,000 measuring stations in over 2,000 cities around the world.
This data all feeds into the interactive Air Quality Index map. Here you can check for yourself how good the air is in your area – or in a holiday country that you want to visit.
