Worst air pollution Forbach, today and tomorrow

On 27 August 2026, overall air quality in Forbach is fair. AQI is the main air quality indicator at 35.6/100. Pollution peaks around 1:00 PM (O3: 35.6/100).

On 28 August 2026, air quality conditions in Forbach will be similar to today, with AQI forecast at fair at 25.2/100. Pollution peaks around 4:00 PM (O3: 25.2/100).

Residents in Forbach tend to notice the most discomfort when cross-border industry and river traffic build up alongside the spring peak in oak and hornbeam pollen; the Vosges and river valleys shape local wind patterns, which typically keeps things from getting worse for long.

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.

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.
