Capitão Poço's air quality reflects the Pará Amazon interior at the Guamá river basin, with vehicle emissions from the PA-124 and surrounding oil palm, cattle, and agricultural operations contributing local sources. Dry season burning from surrounding Pará Amazon deforestation generates intense regional PM2.5 episodes between July and November that represent the primary seasonal air quality challenge, while Atlantic equatorial airflows provide background ventilation during the rest of the year.

When is air pollution at its worst in Capitão Poço?
You're most likely to notice worse air in Capitão Poço when secondary vegetation and oil palm plantation trees pollen peaks, or due to vehicle emissions from the PA-124 and surrounding oil palm, cattle, and agricultural operations; the rest of the calendar year is generally more forgiving for air quality.
Are air quality levels in Capitão Poço 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.
