with sulphur dioxide (SO₂) above the EU hourly limit of 350 µg/m³.
24 hours are allowed in the whole year.
Highest hourly value: July 4, 2025, SO₂ 360 µg/m³, 1.0 times the hourly limit.

No data is arriving from this station
No reading has arrived from this station in 2026 so far.
We take the readings from the European Environment Agency (EEA), and no new values for this station are coming from there. The cause may lie with the station itself or with the data transmission.
Last reading in the archive: January 1, 2026 at 00:00
Measured then: NO₂ 33.2 µg/m³, SO₂ 8.8 µg/m³
Nearest station measuring now: Bor-Gradski park, Bor, Serbia, about 2 km away.
That reading is from another place. Your air may be better or worse.

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 2023 there were 2 such days.
- WHO 2021: daily 25 µg/m³, at most three to four days a year. In 2023 there were 148 such days.
- EU from 2030: annual average 20 µg/m³. Average in 2023: 24 µg/m³.
- WHO 2021: annual average 10 µg/m³. Average in 2023: 24 µg/m³.

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: 282
2 outages, 6,773 hours in total in the last 12 months.
Timeline of outages from October 8, 2025 to today

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.
