Tabrīz's air quality reflects the enclosed Tabriz Plain at 1,350 metres surrounded by the Sahand and Eynali mountain ranges, with vehicle traffic on surrounding roads and the extraordinary vehicle density, petrochemical, and manufacturing corridor generating elevated PM2.5 under persistent winter inversions. The basin's near-complete mountain enclosure creates severe winter trapping, while windblown steppe dust compounds industrial emissions and Tabriz generally maintains among Iran's more severely topographically challenged northwestern provincial capital environments throughout the winter months.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is air quality bad in Tabrīz right now?
On 9 August 2026, overall air quality in Tabrīz is poor. AQI is the main air quality indicator at 63.7/100. Pollution peaks around 2:30 PM (O3: 63.7/100).
Will air quality be worse tomorrow in Tabrīz?
On 10 August 2026, air quality conditions in Tabrīz will be similar to today, with AQI forecast at poor at 69.1/100. Pollution peaks around 3:30 PM (O3: 69.1/100).
When is air pollution at its worst in Tabrīz?
Tabrīz usually sees its poorest air quality when traffic on the surrounding roads, petrochemical and refining operations, as well as manufacturing activity coincide with periods when temperature inversions set in over the valley. The bowl-like terrain here limits how quickly pollutants can escape. Strong seasonal winds can lift dust from the surrounding dry terrain and push particulate levels sharply higher.
Are air quality levels in Tabrīz 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.
