Balneário Camboriú's air quality benefits from its position on the Santa Catarina coast, with consistent Atlantic sea breezes from the south Atlantic providing reliable maritime ventilation along Brazil's most densely built beach resort city. Vehicle emissions from the BR-101 and the concentrated high-rise tourism development generate local NOₓ, while the Atlantic coastal position and consistent sea breezes from the open ocean generally maintain moderate to good readings despite the extraordinary building density that makes this one of the world's most vertically concentrated resort cities.

When is air pollution at its worst in Balneário de Camboriú?

Residents in Balneário de Camboriú are most likely to notice reduced air quality when introduced urban trees and the Camboriú River estuary vegetation pollen peaks, or due to vehicle emissions from the BR-101 and the concentrated high-rise tourism development; beyond that, the area's natural ventilation keeps air quality consistently favourable through the rest of the year.

Are air quality levels in Balneário de Camboriú 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.
