Beckum's local air quality is shaped mainly by traffic on nearby federal roads and local streets and surrounding agricultural and food-processing industry, set within the flat Westphalian plain. Open farmland surroundings generally allow pollutants to disperse readily, while Atlantic westerlies and the wider Ruhr-area industrial background dominate regional air quality throughout the year.

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.
