Paracambi's air quality reflects the Rio de Janeiro state Paraíba do Sul western valley industrial corridor, with vehicle emissions from the BR-116 and the surrounding textile and industrial operations contributing local sources. The surrounding Serra do Mar and coastal highland ridgelines create topographic enclosure, while Atlantic sea breezes from the coast provide periodic ventilation relief and the valley floor's concentration of industrial and vehicle emissions under calm conditions keeps readings consistently elevated throughout the year.

Are air quality levels in Paracambi 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.
