Pirapora's air quality reflects the São Francisco River valley in northern Minas Gerais at 495 metres, with vehicle emissions from the BR-365 and surrounding cattle, irrigated farming, and steel operations contributing local sources. The São Francisco valley's channelling of northerly and southerly winds provides generally reasonable ventilation, while drought conditions and Caatinga burning contribute seasonal PM10 elevation and the steel and logistics operations add industrial emissions to the local air quality profile throughout the year.

Are air quality levels in Pirapora 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.
