When is air pollution at its worst in Val-d'Or?
The air over Val-d'Or varies through the year, influenced by gold-mining operations amid Abitibi's boreal forest. 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. Dust from mining operations adds a small, steady contribution on top of the seasonal wildfire risk.
Are air quality levels in Val-d'Or 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.
