In Erskine Falls, with lighter traffic here, particulate matter tends to come more from farmland dust and occasional burning than from vehicles. Nearby tree cover helps filter some of this particulate load before it settles over the neighborhood. Local monitoring for the wider area tends to track closely with this general pattern.

When is air pollution at its worst in Erskine Falls?
Winter is usually when particulate matter climbs highest locally, as wood heaters and gas heating combine with still, cold air that traps smoke close to the ground. Summer heat and dry conditions nearby make bushfire smoke the leading local air quality issue, as warm, dry conditions drive both ozone formation and periodic bushfire smoke from the surrounding region.
Are air quality levels in Erskine Falls 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.
