Dangerous air quality in several Hungarian cities

Air quality is dangerous in Sajószentpéter, Kazincbarcika and Putnok, in north-east Hungary, due to a high concentration of airborne particles, the National Public Health Centre (NNK) said on Monday.

NNK declared air quality to be “unhealthy” in Miskolc too.

Concentrations of particles are also considered to be too high in twelve other localities, including Budapest, Székesfehérvár, Kecskemét, Szeged, Debrecen and Nyíregyháza, NNK said.

Forecasts show air quality is expected to improve thanks to a front bringing rain on Tuesday.
