When is air pollution at its worst in Cap-de-la-Madeleine (secteur)?

Seasonal air quality in Cap-de-la-Madeleine (secteur) is closely linked to its riverside industry along the St. Lawrence. Summer heat can worsen conditions when plant emissions combine with sunlight to form ground-level ozone, while winter inversions occasionally trap industrial pollutants close to the ground on still, cold days. Wind direction off the harbour plays a large role in how far pollutants travel into surrounding neighbourhoods.

Are air quality levels in Cap-de-la-Madeleine (secteur) 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.

Airmine’s services were developed with support from the European Space Agency (ESA)’s Business Applications and Space Solutions (BASS) team.
