ClearSpot score
100%
With a score of 100%, Geel places in the upper tier of ClearSpot's global ranking, reflecting limited documented environmental burden at default thresholds.
Published tables use the same default thresholds for everyone so rankings stay comparable. On the home map, your tuned sensitivities still drive the live chip.
Environmental indicators
| Module | Score | What this means |
|---|---|---|
| Wind turbines | 0% | No wind turbines are documented within the ClearSpot database near Geel at default sensitivity radius. |
| Pollen | 0% | No significant pollen pressure detected within default ClearSpot thresholds for the current reference period. |
| Air quality | 0% | Air quality data shows no documented exceedance of default sensitivity thresholds at this pin. |
| Noise | 81% | High noise pressure (81%). Strategic noise maps document substantial sources within the default ClearSpot sensitivity radius for this location. |
| Light pollution | 0% | Night-sky radiance registers no documented pressure - this area scores within the darker end of ClearSpot's light pollution range. |

How to read this place
At default settings the indexed pressures are relatively high here. That is not a medical diagnosis; it is a prompt to inspect turbines, air, pollen, noise, and night-sky data in context and with your sensitivities.
Short-term vs long-term
In the short term, spikes come from weather, pollen season, construction, or night lighting—use the live map when deciding whether to open a window or plan outdoor time.
Over months and years, patterns matter for where you settle: turbine proximity, chronic noise corridors, recurring pollen sources, and persistent air basins. The blog and data guides explain how each layer is built.
