Germany air quality today The AQI right now, city by city

Right now the 71 cities Airleaf measures in Germany average AQI 63 (moderate). The worst air is in Oldenburg, at AQI 111, and the cleanest in Chemnitz, at AQI 12. At ground stations alone, which measure rather than estimate, the average is AQI 62 across 70 cities. 3% of the 71 measured cities are over AQI 100 today, where the air stops being fine for sensitive groups, and 20% have Good air.

Oldenburg, at AQI 111 (Unhealthy for sensitive groups) on the US EPA index. Sensitive groups should limit long or intense outdoor activity.

Chemnitz, at AQI 12 (Good). Both lists rank current readings, from ground stations wherever Germany has at least three cities with one.

It depends on the city. 14 cities are Good, 55 cities are Moderate, 2 cities are Unhealthy for sensitive groups. At the national average of AQI 63: Unusually sensitive people should consider limiting long outdoor exertion.

About 1.49 million ha from 2001 to 2025, 12% of the forest it had in 2000, from the University of Maryland's yearly satellite maps of forest loss. 43,700 ha of it was cleared for good, for farms, mines or towns.

Bergisch Gladbach, with 59.9% tree cover within 2 km of its center, measured from Sentinel-2 satellite images.

Each city's reading is the US EPA air quality index, from ground monitoring stations where one has reported recently nearby, and from the CAMS atmospheric model elsewhere; each city's report says which. Tree cover is measured over the same 2 km radius in every city, so the cities compare like for like.
