When is air pollution at its worst in Vieux-Trois-Rivieres?

Vieux-Trois-Rivières's air quality follows a seasonal rhythm tied to its historic riverside core amid the city's pulp-and-paper mills. 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 Vieux-Trois-Rivieres 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.
