Red alert! Fine dust is attacking our cities – the air is that dangerous!
The air quality in Brandenburg has currently reached a critical point. On December 26, 2025, early in the morning, fine dust levels reached alarming levels in several cities, endangering the health of the population. In Wildau, Potsdam, and Frankfurt (Oder), values that are well above the harmless threshold values have been measured, and this is causing increasing concern.
In Wildau, the measuring station shows air pollution in the orange range, which indicates increased particulate matter pollution. The city of Potsdam has issued a fine dust warning, which shows that the concentrations are in the unhealthy range. The situation is particularly critical in Frankfurt (Oder), where a fine dust alarm has been triggered and the values exceed the critical range. The pollution levels are also increased in Buckow and Mahlow, which results in a fine dust warning. Even in Berlin, Halle/Saale, Weißenfels, Güstrow and Schwedt/Oder the situation is tense and similar alerts have been issued.
Measurement data and warning systems
Experts of the Federal Environment Agency measure the air quality several times a day at various measuring stations. The data is continuously collected and published on Germany-wide maps and historical graphics. This gives citizens a better understanding of the current air situation. The free “Air Quality” app also provides hourly updated information about harmful pollutants.
The air quality index (LQI), also provided by the Federal Environment Agency, evaluates air quality based on pollutants such as ozone, nitrogen dioxide and particulate matter. This index is color coded and ranges from “very good” to “very poor”. The current situation in Brandenburg clearly ranks in the area of health risks.
The influence of weather conditions
Air quality is influenced by various atmospheric conditions and the prevailing weather conditions play a crucial role. Experts warn that emissions must be reduced even in unfavorable weather in order to comply with legal limits and reduce air pollution. The Air data portal provides comprehensive data and also offers an air data tool that enables the federal states to prominently display current values on their websites.
Of particular concern is the fact that this air quality can affect not only the environment, but also the health of local residents. Doctors therefore recommend, especially on such days, to spend as little time outdoors as possible and to seek medical advice if you feel unwell. There needs to be greater focus on air pollution control to ensure the long-term success of healthier air quality.
