About this station
The Bratislava-Kamenne namestie traffic monitoring station in Bratislava is operated by SHMU Slovakia. The station code is an EEA identifier; concentrations on this page are modeled from Slovakia's PM2.5 Average Exposure Indicator, not this station's own Dataflow E1a hourly series. Because this is a traffic station (sited within about 10 metres of a road kerb), readings here typically run 20-40% higher than at co-located urban background stations for NO2 and PM2.5. Ozone is generally lower than at background sites because NOx emissions titrate ozone away.
Modelled annual means
These are modelled estimates, not this station's own reported readings. Each value is Slovakia's national population-weighted annual mean, adjusted for this station's classification (traffic). Two stations of the same classification in the same country therefore show the same value. For this station's actual reported series, use the EEA datahub link below. Full rule: methodology §5b.
All concentrations in µg/m³ are modeled from the country PM2.5 Average Exposure Indicator, adjusted for this station's classification (code SK0001A) - not an independent per-station E1a reading. See our methodology for the exact derivation.

Figures on PlainAirQuality are rendered from this site's database rather than typed into the page. Country values restate the EEA's published series and are held in our dataset pending an automated re-import; station-level values are modelled from those national means, not measured at the station. Every figure here is a MODELLED estimate, not this station's own reported reading: the national population-weighted annual mean adjusted for the station's classification (methodology §5b). Peak and exceedance-day figures are deliberately absent, because we do not publish a number we cannot source to the station itself. See our editorial standards & corrections policy, the methodology behind these numbers, or report a data error.
