Advice for today

Consider reducing intense outdoor activities, especially if you notice symptoms such as sore eyes, a cough or a sore throat.

For more sensitive people

More sensitive people should reduce physical activities, particularly outdoors.

General guidance based on the European air quality index bands: it does not replace medical advice. If you live with asthma, respiratory or heart conditions, significant allergies, or are pregnant, follow your doctor's or specialist's advice.

How reliable is this data?

Lower reliability

The nearest monitoring station (“Torchiarolo - Via Fanin”) is about 13.3 km away: the further from the stations, the more uncertain the estimate.

Measurements and the European model diverge today: take the value with a little extra caution.

Every value shown is an estimate for the municipal area, not an exact point measurement.

And in the nearby towns?

The current index in the towns around: air does not stop at borders.

Position 4 of 20 towns in the province for clean air, right now.

This time of year

With strong sunshine and heat, the typical summer pollutant is ozone, which rises in the central hours of the sunniest days.

Today's UV index
9UV
Very high · peak of the day

Very intense sun: reduce exposure between 11am and 4pm and protect yourself with sunscreen, sunglasses and a hat.

Copernicus CAMS model estimate: the peak usually falls in the central hours.
