Worst air pollution Camp Pathfinder, today and tomorrow

On 9 August 2026, overall air quality in Camp Pathfinder is fair. AQI is the main air quality indicator at 37.5/100. Pollution peaks around 9:00 AM (O3: 37.5/100).

On 10 August 2026, air quality conditions in Camp Pathfinder will be similar to today, with AQI forecast at fair at 35.9/100. Pollution peaks around 11:00 AM (O3: 35.9/100).

Air quality often dips most sharply during winter in this area, as cold, still air holds wood smoke and heating emissions close to the ground through winter. Summer shifts the concern toward ground-level ozone here too, as warm, sunny conditions drive ozone formation, sometimes worsened by smoke from distant wildfires. Milder spring and fall weather, paired with more reliable wind, usually gives the clearest air of the year.

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.
