When is air pollution at its worst in Fort Erie?

In Fort Erie, air quality changes through the year largely because of cross-border traffic at the Peace Bridge crossing. Cross-border truck traffic keeps emissions elevated much of the year, with summer heat adding ground-level ozone to the mix; winter usually brings some relief except during cold, still inversions. Border-crossing volumes rise sharply in summer, adding further to the seasonal traffic-related increase.

Are air quality levels in Fort Erie 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.
