"Smog expected to degrade air quality in parts of Netherlands on Wednesday and Thursday
Smog is expected to cause “poor” air quality in parts of central and southern Netherlands on Wednesday and Thursday amid extreme heat, the National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM) reports.
On Wednesday, the highest risk is expected in parts of Flevoland, Utrecht, and the central and western areas of Noord-Brabant. On Thursday, smog is expected south of a line running from Leiden through Amersfoort to Apeldoorn. According to the institute, the smog results from the buildup of air pollution on sunny days with little wind.
The agency warned that smog can lead to increased respiratory problems such as coughing and shortness of breath, worsening asthma symptoms, and reduced lung function.
It advised people sensitive to smog to stay indoors and limit heavy physical exertion, particularly in the afternoon and early evening when air pollution is expected to be highest. Children, older adults, and people with asthma are considered most vulnerable."

I freaking ♥️ public transport!
Currently I have my drivers license for over 15 years now but never had to own a car. Ofc I totally understand the #Netherlands is relative small, dense and flat compared to some massive countries but we also invest a lot in public infrastructure!
Besides from being able to bike almost anywhere in the country, most places also have public transport cover
Good stuff! #NL

@Eetschrijver I suppose you have the luxury to charge your car at your house? Here in #Amsterdam infrastructure for electric cars runs far behind and the network in the #Netherlands has serious capacity problems. The individual choice isn't as simple as it seems here in particular if you need an invalid parking spot. I refuse to be called "stark crazy" for a choice I didn't have. @randahl
