Ashdod's air quality reflects the flat Israeli Mediterranean coastal plain position south of Tel Aviv, with vehicle traffic on surrounding roads and the major Israeli port operations, power plant, and industrial corridor generating elevated maritime and industrial emissions. Consistent Mediterranean sea breezes provide maritime ventilation, while the outstanding coastal exposure generally maintains Ashdod at moderate Israeli southern coastal plain readings, with the port's maritime industrial character representing the most distinctive local emission source throughout most of the year.

When is air pollution at its worst in Ashdod?
The biggest local contributors to pollution in Ashdod are traffic on the surrounding roads, power generation, as well as port and shipping activity, particularly once dry spells bring strong winds. Strong seasonal winds can lift dust from the surrounding dry terrain and push particulate levels sharply higher. Sea breezes typically keep conditions in check, except during still weather.
Are air quality levels in Ashdod 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.
