Change language:
Air pollution has grown because of the concentration of airborne dust in some Hungarian cities, according to the National Centre of Public Health.
In Kazincbarcika, Miskolc, Putnok, and Sajószentpéter, the air is unhealthy, while in Budapest, Debrecen, Eger, Kecskemét, Nyíregyháza, Salgótarján, Százhalombatta, Szolnok, Tököl, Vác, and Várpalota, the quality of the air is highly questionable, wrote Index.
However, according to other sources, the air quality is dangerous in Budapest and nearby areas, in Pécs, and in some places in Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén County as well.
Időkép has posted a photo on their Facebook page, where the reddish air settled in the city can be seen well from up the hills.
In the coming days, the situation is expected to get worse. On Saturday, a cold front is coming with winds that may clear out the air in the central and western regions of Hungary.
