Poor quality air

Vantaa, Seinäjoki, Pori and Varkaus have warnings over their quality air.

This means that the concentrations of sulphur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, respirable particles, fine particles, ozone, carbon monoxide, and the total reduced sulphur compounds are harmful for people, especially for sensitive individuals, who may experience adverse effects.

The poor quality air may also have clear impacts in vegetation and materials.
