The air in Stuttgart has long been an important issue. The air in Stuttgart is monitored around the clock. And has been for many years: The state of Baden-Württemberg has been operating a measurement network since 1980, and the Office for Environmental Protection has been taking measurements at various stations in the city center since 1965. The city of Stuttgart regularly publishes the data on air quality (opens in a new tab).
One thing can be said for sure: Air pollution from non-traffic pollutants has decreased very significantly in recent years. Only in the case of traffic has the level of pollution remained virtually unchanged. But that, too, is set to change in the future - thanks to intensive efforts and numerous measures by the city of Stuttgart and the state of Baden-Württemberg.
