In Blezard Valley, light local traffic means surrounding farmland activity, not congestion, is the bigger day-to-day influence on air quality. This is partly offset by nearby tree cover, which filters out some particulate matter naturally. This general baseline tends to hold across nearby areas with similar traffic and land use.

When is air pollution at its worst in Blezard Valley?

The colder months typically bring the heaviest particulate levels of the year, as wood and furnace heating combine with still, cold air that traps smoke close to the ground. Warmer months bring a different problem: ground-level ozone, with strong sun and heat driving ozone formation, at times worsened by wildfire smoke from farther afield.

Are air quality levels in Blezard Valley 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.

Why doesn’t the forecast always reflect wildfire impacts?

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.
