In Statue of Fortuna, with less congestion here, dust from surrounding fields and occasional burning plays a bigger role than traffic. Green space nearby provides modest natural relief, filtering a portion of this particulate load. The surrounding area tends to follow a similar pattern, with only minor local variation. Wind patterns on any given day can shift this picture meaningfully in either direction.

When is air pollution at its worst in Statue of Fortuna?
Winter tends to bring the year's worst particulate spikes here, as cold, still air holds wood smoke and heating emissions close to the ground through winter. Summer heat and dry surrounding vegetation push bushfire smoke to the forefront of local air quality concerns, since summer heat and dry vegetation nearby are usually enough on their own to raise bushfire risk.
Are air quality levels in Statue of Fortuna 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.
Why doesn’t the forecast always reflect wildfire impacts?
Airmine’s forecast uses CAMS (Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service) as its background atmospheric model. While CAMS includes wildfire emissions, these are derived from satellite observations and are not available in real time. During rapidly evolving wildfire events, there may therefore be a delay before increased emissions are incorporated into the model. As a result, the forecast may temporarily underestimate PM₂.₅ and other pollutants associated with wildfire smoke.
During rapidly evolving wildfire events, CAMS may lag by approximately 1–2 days before increased wildfire emissions are fully represented, which can lead to temporary underestimation of PM₂.₅ concentrations in Airmine’s forecast.
