What were the consequences for air quality?
Here you will find the analysis of the nitrogen dioxide measurement during the execution of the cut on Weesperstraat. The GGD Amsterdam has been measuring the NO2 concentration for years at a large number of measuring points spread across the city with a passive measuring method, the so-called Palmes diffusion tubes.
The conclusion of this analysis is that air quality improved during the cut in the area around the closed streets. Most people in this cutting area have improved in terms of exposure to NO2. However, this does not apply to the people who live along streets with an increase in traffic as a result of the cut.
