Åbyhøj sits along one of Aarhus's busier arterial routes into the city centre, giving it moderately higher traffic-related emissions than the city's coastal districts. The lack of direct sea exposure means dispersal depends more on general wind patterns than in neighbourhoods like Risskov.

When is air pollution at its worst in Åbyhøj?
Åbyhøj's air quality dips are tied mainly to traffic along one of Aarhus's busier arterial routes into the centre, compounded by the district's inland position away from direct sea exposure. Dispersal here depends more on general wind patterns than in Aarhus's coastal neighbourhoods.
Are air quality levels in Åbyhøj 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.
Why doesn’t the forecast always reflect wildfire impacts?
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.
