The air quality in Saxony remains poor, especially in the northern half of the state. A map published by the Federal Environment Agency (Uba) on Tuesday showed very high levels of particulate matter at seven measuring points. This affected three measuring stations in Leipzig as well as one each in Niesky, Görlitz, Liebschützberg in northern Saxony and Zwickau.
The situation is not ideal in the state capital Dresden either. There, the Uba classified the air quality at three measuring points as only "moderate".
