Local air quality in Kozáni tracks closely with lignite power-plant emissions and vehicle traffic across the plain, given its position on the Aliakmonas river plain in Macedonia in Dytikí Makedonía. Wind and precipitation are the main levers for clearing the air here, with the stillest conditions generally producing the town's weakest readings.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is air quality bad in Kozáni right now?

On 9 August 2026, overall air quality in Kozáni is fair. PM1 is the main pollutant at 36.4/100. Pollution peaks around 3:00 PM (O3: 50.1/100).

When is air pollution at its worst in Kozáni?

The main drivers of poor air days in Kozáni are pine and oak pollen and lignite power-plant emissions and vehicle traffic across the plain; once these ease, Dytikí Makedonía's typical weather patterns generally bring a return to clearer conditions.

Are air quality levels in Kozáni 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.
