Air quality in Busselton is generally very good, supported by consistent sea breezes off Geographe Bay and the Indian Ocean and a lack of significant industry. As a popular tourist and coastal residential town, background pollution sources are minimal. The main seasonal issue is bushfire smoke during the drier summer months, when fires in surrounding forest country can occasionally reduce air quality and visibility.

Are air quality levels in Busselton based on measurements or forecasts?

It is forecasts derived by downscaling forecasts provided by EU’s Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS) by taking into account local conditions such as traffic patterns. CAMS bases its forecast on satellite measurements of particles and chemical compounds in the atmosphere. Airmine’s services were developed with support from the European Space Agency (ESA)’s Business Applications and Space Solutions (BASS) team.
