To improve air quality in the Netherlands, the National Air Quality Cooperation Program (NSL) was set up. Every year the national government has to report the state of affairs to the EU. Nowhere in Geldrop-Mierlo are the standards exceeded. Nevertheless, the municipality is having additional detailed research conducted at Bogardeind. In 2013 it turned out that on a small part of Bogardeind the limit value was exceeded by up to 6 micrograms per m3. Therefore, the municipality took measures to improve traffic flow. Due to cleaner cars and trucks, the exceedance will be a maximum of 0.2 micrograms per m3 in 2015. As far as particulate matter is concerned, our municipality meets all legal standards.
