This is the consequence of climatic conditions of recent days. The organism Atmo Hauts-de-France alert to the pollution of theair in theOise for Tuesday January 14 and Wednesday January 15.
PM10 particle pollution
In Hauts-de-France, the episode of air pollution had appeared in the departments of Nord and Pas-de-Calais. This Tuesday, January 14, it is the turn of the Oise to be on “persistence alert” (orange, the third level on the scale planned by Atmo). The body fears pollution from PM10 particles (very small solid entities, harmful to respiratory and cardiovascular health).
This state of alert applies to the days of Tuesday January 14 and Wednesday January 15.
Particles from traffic, wood heating, etc.
“This pollution is explained by particle emissions, produced in particular by wood heating and traffic, as well as by weather conditions unfavorable to the dispersion of pollutants (weak winds, very low layers of the atmosphere, etc.)”, explains Atmo Hauts-de-France on its website.
As the weather conditions are not expected to change between Tuesday and Wednesday, the alert will be maintained this Wednesday. Particle concentrations should indeed remain high.
