Sens's air quality is driven largely by light industry and river-valley traffic, close to the Doubs, though the Saone and Doubs valleys channel airflow, limiting how much pollution can build up locally. 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 Sens?
In Sens, the combination of light industry and river-valley traffic and heavy oak and hornbeam pollen in spring is what most affects sensitive groups; the Saone and Doubs valleys channel airflow, so poor conditions rarely last more than a couple of days.
Are air quality levels in Sens 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.
