Wind can carry dust well beyond the fields themselves during the busiest planting and harvest weeks.
Are air quality levels in Chatham-Kent based on measurements or forecasts?

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.
