Nitrogen dioxide in 2025: highest in the Randstad and along motorways, lowest in the north

The modelled annual mean NO2 for 2025 in one-kilometre squares, from RIVM's map service. According to the service's classes, the lightest blue is below 10 micrograms per cubic metre, which covers most of Friesland, Groningen and Drenthe. The Randstad is darker, motorways show up as lines and the darkest patches are around Rotterdam, The Hague and Amsterdam. It is a modelled map based on measurements and models; query a single point with GetFeatureInfo.
