Fog, dust and smog. Where is the best and worst air in Prague
Fog, dust and smog. The sad reality of big cities. But what about our metropolis?
In the latest episode of Žít Prahu, we show you the parts with the cleanest air, as well as those that are better to avoid. The quality of the air in Prague is essentially worsened by two sources of pollution. The first are operations such as a cement plant in Radotín, an incinerator in Malešice or a wastewater treatment plant in Prague 6.
The second significant polluter is automobile traffic in Prague. After all, the people of Prague are in the first places in Europe in the number of cars per person, even though we have one of the highest quality and constantly developing public transport systems. Metro line D is being prepared, tram routes are being added (https://youtu.be/diKWr6OJ4nI), but the return of trolleybuses is also being prepared.
Given the heavy car traffic in the metropolis, it is no surprise that the people of Prague breathe the worst air around the main road, from the Nuselské bridge to Holešovice, then around the Prague and Městské okruh, 5. května street and around the D1 highway in Chodov.
And where is the best air in Prague? In the center of Prague is Petřín, which, in addition to clean air, boasts a number of attractions. From the Prague districts, they are Košíře, Motol, Břevnov, Veleslavín, Vokovice and Hanspaulka, but also Kunratice, Bohnice and Klánovice.
