Question is, how much do you trust the Guardian to do a proper research.

They claim no area of Sweden has twice the recommended value, but there are clearly orange/red areas near the very south near Helsingborg.

Are you thinking of Copenhagen?

I was thinking of Malmø with i said Helsingborg, which is further north ofc. Copenhagen is big (by Nordic standards), cramped and old. No wonder it has worse air.

All of Skåne is still below 10 (less than double the recommended maximum)
