Air at the Novi Sad-Rumenacka station

Novi Sad, Serbia

Network: Agency for Environmental Protection · Station code: RS0029A

This year, up to yesterday (October 6)

at least

18 days

with a daily average of particulate matter PM10 above the EU limit of 50 µg/m³.

Readings are missing for part of the period, so the real number may be higher.

In 2025: 38 days above the limit, 35 allowed.

Worst day: March 3, 2026, PM10 120 µg/m³ as a daily average, 2.4 times the limit.

How the air is changing

Over the last seven days there was more PM10, PM2.5, NO₂, and SO₂ in the air than the week before.

  • PM10: average 55 µg/m³, week before 28.6 µg/m³
  • PM2.5: average 20.7 µg/m³, week before 13.4 µg/m³
  • NO₂: average 52.3 µg/m³, week before 39.2 µg/m³
  • SO₂: average 7.5 µg/m³, week before 5.5 µg/m³

Last month there was more PM10, PM2.5, and NO₂ and less SO₂ in the air than the month before.

  • PM10: average 32.1 µg/m³, month before 28.2 µg/m³
  • PM2.5: average 11 µg/m³, month before 9 µg/m³

* 2026 up to October 6; the average since the start of the year is not yet an annual average.

The monitoring networks have not yet finally verified this year’s data. The EEA publishes verified values once a year.

² Too few readings to compare with the number allowed: the figure covers only what was measured.

■ and a figure in red: more than is allowed for the whole year.

There is no allowed number for the warning and alert thresholds: every such hour or day is in red.

The column for 2023 is shown on wider screens.

Compared with the new EU rules and the WHO recommendation

This is not the yardstick for the verdict above, only a comparison. From 2030 the EU tightens its limits (Directive (EU) 2024/2881), and since 2021 the World Health Organization has recommended even lower values.

  • EU from 2030: daily 50 µg/m³, 18 days allowed. In 2026 there were 14 such days.
  • WHO 2021: daily 25 µg/m³, at most three to four days a year. In 2026 there were 166 such days.

Sources: Directive (EU) 2024/2881, Annex I; WHO global air quality guidelines 2021, table 0.1. Checked against the texts on 7 October 2026.

Outages in the last 12 months

Every period of at least 24 hours in which no reading arrived from this station.

Days without a reading: 59

Calculated from the hourly values the EEA publishes. If late values arrive afterwards, an outage gets shorter or disappears.

Where the data comes from

Measured by Agency for Environmental Protection. We take the values from the European Environment Agency (EEA) under the CC BY 4.0 licence.

Values marked provisional have not been fully checked by the network yet. The EEA publishes verified data for the previous year once a year, usually by the end of September.

An hourly value is the average of one hour. We show the end of the hour: the value to 18:00 was measured from 17:00 to 18:00.

A day runs from midnight to midnight local time.

We only show an average when at least three out of four hours in the period have a reading. The EU air quality directive requires this for daily averages, and we apply the same rule to longer periods. We compare an annual average with the EU limit only once 90 % of hours are measured, as the directive requires. For 12 months and for a year we ask for more: if less than 90 % of hours are measured, every full calendar month needs readings for at least half of its hours. Otherwise a whole season could be missing from the average, such as summer, when ozone is highest.

We do not call a difference of up to 10 % a change, nor one of up to 1 µg/m³ at low levels, because weather and measurement uncertainty alone cause differences that size.

When a station sends no reading, the EEA sometimes fills the hour with a model estimate. We draw those hours dashed and leave them out of every average.

The EU limits come from Directive 2008/50/EC. Here they serve as a yardstick for comparison. When more than a tenth of the days or hours are missing, the number of exceedances can only be higher, so we write “at least” in front of it.
