Air Quality Index (AQI) in Germany 🇩🇪
Live Air Quality Index (AQI) and PM2.5 Levels in Germany
Currently, the Air Quality Index (AQI) in Berlin, the capital of Germany, is measured at a score of 33. According to the US EPA health standard, this air quality rating is categorized as Good. The current atmosphere in Berlin is influenced by a PM2.5 (fine particulate matter) concentration of 5.9 µg/m³ and PM10 levels recorded at 10.5 µg/m³. Monitoring of gaseous pollutants shows Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) at 6.0 µg/m³.
Beyond the primary urban hubs, atmospheric conditions and smog levels fluctuate across Germany based on industrial output, traffic density, and local weather patterns. Real-time pollution data and respiratory health alerts are also being actively monitored in cities like Hamburg, Munich, Köln, Frankfurt am Main and Stuttgart. Tracking these air quality metrics is essential for residents nationwide to manage outdoor exposure and maintain respiratory safety during periods of increased particulate concentration.
Air Quality Snapshot: Germany Right Now
Across 100 monitored cities in Germany, live air quality currently ranges from a low of 21 AQI in Rostock (the cleanest air right now) to a high of 54 AQI in Düsseldorf (the most polluted). By US EPA health band, the nationwide distribution stands at 91 Good, 9 Moderate. The average fine-particulate (PM2.5) concentration across these cities is 6.7 µg/m³ — approximately 1.3 times the World Health Organization (WHO) annual air quality guideline of 5 µg/m³.

* Air Quality Index (AQI) data for Germany is calculated using the US EPA standard. Information is processed from multiple monitoring stations detecting PM2.5, PM10, and gaseous pollutants to ensure accuracy for respiratory health planning.
What Today's Readings Mean in Germany
The median reading across 100 monitored cities is 34.0 AQI. The national spread is 33 points, from 21 in Rostock to 54 in Düsseldorf. Average PM2.5 is 6.7 µg/m³ (1.3× the WHO annual guideline).
At least one monitored location is in the Moderate range. People unusually sensitive to air pollution may want to reduce prolonged outdoor exertion there.
