The Boom camping area — presumably Camping Dreamville at Tomorrowland — sits on the flat Belgian Antwerp Province De Schorre camping domain, with vehicle traffic and the concentrated festival camping generator, campfire, and vehicle corridor generating elevated PM2.5 during the Tomorrowland festival period. The flat Scheldt River plain allows reasonable dispersal, while the camping operations' generator and campfire character represents the most distinctive local emission source during the festival weekend.
