Flemish air quality deteriorated again due to economic recovery and traffic after corona (and possibly also due to more wood burning)

Flemish air quality has deteriorated again. Corona measures caused the concentrations of polluting substances in the air to drop sharply in 2020, but they have now risen again, the Flemish Environment Agency (VMM) reports in a press release on Thursday. The cause of the increase in 2021 is almost certainly due to the revival of the economy and traffic and possibly also to increased wood combustion, it sounds like.
