Worst air pollution Site 70, today and tomorrow

On 26 August 2026, overall air quality in Site 70 is fair. AQI is the main air quality indicator at 35.2/100. Pollution peaks around 12:00 PM (O3: 35.2/100).

On 27 August 2026, air quality conditions in Site 70 will be similar to today, with AQI forecast at fair at 30.6/100. Pollution peaks around 8:00 AM (O3: 30.6/100).

Winter months routinely bring the sharpest rise in particulate matter to this area, as cold, still air holds wood smoke and heating emissions close to the ground through winter. As the weather warms, ozone tends to overtake other concerns in this area, as hot, sunny days accelerate local ozone formation, occasionally compounded by drifting smoke.

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.
