Ashmūn in Egypt reflects the flat Nile Delta agricultural position adjacent to Menouf in Monufia Governorate, with vehicle traffic on surrounding roads and the agricultural, light manufacturing, and brick kiln operations contributing local sources. The flat delta terrain provides minimal dispersal, while the Cairo metropolitan regional background and the Nile Delta's agricultural burning contribute seasonal PM2.5 and the area generally maintains moderate to elevated Egyptian Nile Delta agricultural corridor readings throughout most of the year.

When is air pollution at its worst in Ashmūn?
Air quality in Ashmūn tends to be worse when road traffic, manufacturing and food processing, together with farming and agricultural processing build up and weather conditions turn unfavourable. Day-to-day conditions here depend heavily on the weather. Conditions can otherwise vary considerably with the weather.
Are air quality levels in Ashmūn 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.
