Beersheba's air quality reflects the flat Negev Desert highland position at 280 metres, with vehicle traffic on surrounding roads and the chemical industry, university, and government corridor contributing local sources. Windblown Negev Desert and Sinai dust generates elevated PM10 during dust storm events, while the flat desert terrain allows reasonable dispersal and Beersheba generally maintains moderate to elevated Israeli Negev Desert capital readings throughout most of the year.

When is air pollution at its worst in Beersheba?
In Beersheba, road traffic and steel, cement, and chemical production are the main local sources, with conditions worsening when windblown dust events occur. Strong seasonal winds can lift dust from the surrounding dry terrain and push particulate levels sharply higher. This is most noticeable during spring and autumn wind events.
Are air quality levels in Beersheba 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.
