When is air pollution at its worst in Bandon?

Calm winter evenings can trap smoke from turf and coal fires close to the ground, while the rest of the year stays generally clean thanks to frequent Atlantic winds and rain. A change in the weather, which happens often in Ireland, usually clears any smoke within a day or two.
Are air quality levels in Bandon 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.
