Cachoeira do Sul's air quality reflects the Rio Grande do Sul central plateau at 68 metres on the Jacuí river, with vehicle emissions from the BR-290 and surrounding soybean, rice, and cattle agribusiness contributing local sources. The flat southern Brazilian coastal plain provides reasonable wind dispersal, while dry season burning from surrounding agricultural land contributes seasonal PM2.5 variation and cold winter temperature inversions can periodically concentrate vehicle and wood-burning emissions.

When is air pollution at its worst in Cachoeira do Sul?

Residents in Cachoeira do Sul are most likely to notice reduced air quality when native pampa grasses and eucalyptus pollen peaks, or due to vehicle emissions from the BR-290 and surrounding soybean, rice, and cattle agribusiness; a change of season or a spell of wind usually clears things up again.

Are air quality levels in Cachoeira do Sul 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.
