Olpe sits within the flat Westphalian plain, where local traffic and nearby regional through-roads and surrounding arable farming and small-scale manufacturing contribute the main local air quality sources. 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.

Ragweed exposure stays modest in this part of Germany through late summer. Mornings and breezier days generally bring the clearest conditions.
Are air quality levels in Olpe 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.
