Air quality ‘dangerous’ in several parts of Hungary

A high concentration of airborne dust particles is making air quality “dangerous” in several parts of Hungary, the national public health centre (NNGYK) said on Tuesday.

According to recent measurements, the air is currently “dangerous” in Kecskemet, Békéscsaba, Debrecen, Nyíregyháza, Eger, as well as in the Sajó valley in Miskolc, Kazincbarcika and Putnok. The air in several other places in the north and east, as well as in Budapest, and Várpalota and Szentgotthárd in the west, was “poor”, the statement said.
