Expect high levels of PM-pollution over New years's eve
According to the weather forecast, we should expect high levels of particulate matter pollution in Reykjavik - and most other towns - in Iceland this New year's eve.
In a manuscript (already submitted), I and co-authors, we show that the PM-pollution levels can reach 2374 μg m-3 just after midnight if the weather is calm, but if there is strong wind (and rain) the levels can be as low as <500 μg m-3.
Happy new year !
