Air quality in Lons-le-Saunier reflects light industry and river-valley traffic as the main local source, alongside its setting near the Yonne, while the Saone and Doubs valleys channel airflow, generally keeping conditions moderate to good on most days. The coldest winter days bring the worst conditions, with heating and traffic emissions trapped in the valleys, whereas summer generally offers cleaner air aside from the odd ozone spike during heatwaves.

When is air pollution at its worst in Lons-le-Saunier?

In Lons-le-Saunier, allergy sufferers and those sensitive to pollution both notice more symptoms when light industry and river-valley traffic coincides with heavy oak and hornbeam pollen; the Saone and Doubs valleys channel airflow, keeping bad spells relatively short.

Are air quality levels in Lons-le-Saunier 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.
