Worst air pollution Pará de Minas, today and tomorrow

On 9 August 2026, overall air quality in Pará de Minas is fair. AQI is the main air quality indicator at 25.1/100. Pollution peaks around 2:00 PM (PM2.5: 25.1/100).

On 10 August 2026, air quality conditions in Pará de Minas will be similar to today, with AQI forecast at fair at 30.3/100. Pollution peaks around 11:00 AM (PM2.5: 30.3/100).

Residents in Pará de Minas are most likely to notice reduced air quality when native cerrado trees and introduced urban trees pollen peaks, or due to vehicle emissions from the MG-431 and surrounding automotive parts, steel, and agribusiness manufacturing; a change of season or a spell of wind usually clears things up again.

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.

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.
