Several Norwegian cities, including Oslo, Bergen, Stavanger, and areas in Vestfold and Telemark, are experiencing high levels of air pollution due to dry weather and inversion.

The pollution, caused by road dust and wood burning, poses significant health risks, especially for individuals with asthma, respiratory issues, or heart conditions.

Authorities recommend reducing outdoor physical activity in affected areas.

Measures like traffic restrictions and improved public transport may be implemented in some cities to combat the issue.

The situation is expected to improve with rainfall later in the week.
