The goal of this work is to explore the dataset and then compare several scenarios with similaratmospheric conditions (periods of high Nitrogen dioxide concentration): some of them when no actions were taken andsome when traffic restrictions were imposed. The levels of main pollutants, recorded at these stations for eleven days at fourdifferent times from 2015 to 2018, are analyzed in order to determine the effectiveness of the anti-pollution measures. Thevisualization of trajectories on the self-organizing map let us clearly see the evolution of pollution levels and consequentlyevaluate the effectiveness of the taken measures, after and during the protocol activation time.
