Frequently Asked Questions

Is air quality bad in Aviva Stadium right now?

On 21 July 2026, overall air quality in Aviva Stadium is fair. AQI is the main air quality indicator at 21.1/100. Pollution peaks around 5:00 AM (NO2: 21.1/100).

When is air pollution at its worst in Aviva Stadium?

Throughout the year, air quality in Aviva Stadium rises and falls with the seasons, shaped by its riverside setting near Ballsbridge in Dublin. Air quality here stays clean for most of the year thanks to frequent coastal or open-country winds, with event days the main source of any local traffic increase. Outside of event schedules, the surrounding open land keeps conditions consistently good.

Are air quality levels in Aviva Stadium 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.
