Kermānshāh's air quality reflects the western Iranian Zagros Mountain valley at 1,319 metres surrounded by the Alvand and Shahu ranges, with vehicle traffic on surrounding roads and the oil refinery, petrochemical, and vehicle density corridor generating elevated PM2.5 and SO₂. The Zagros valley's topographic enclosure creates concentration under winter inversions, while windblown Iraqi steppe dust compounds industrial emissions and Kermanshah generally maintains among Iran's more challenged western highland provincial capital environments throughout the year.

When is air pollution at its worst in Kermānshāh?
Kermānshāh usually sees its poorest air quality when road traffic together with heavy industrial and chemical processing coincide with periods when temperature inversions set in over the valley. The bowl-like terrain here limits how quickly pollutants can escape. Dust carried on these winds adds substantially to particulate levels.
Are air quality levels in Kermānshāh 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.
