When is air pollution at its worst in Roberval?

Roberval's air quality varies through the year, influenced by its pulp mill on the shore of Lac Saint-Jean. For much of the year the air is clean and forest-fresh, but summer and early autumn carry real risk of smoke episodes when wildfires burn nearby or further north. Wind direction across the river determines how much of the industrial output drifts into town on any given day.

Are air quality levels in Roberval 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.
