Lod's air quality reflects the flat Israeli coastal plain position adjacent to Ben Gurion International Airport — Israel's main international gateway — with the airport's concentrated international aviation operations and vehicle traffic on surrounding roads generating elevated NOₓ and ultrafine particles. The flat coastal plain allows reasonable dispersal, while the aviation emissions' extraordinary scale relative to the local urban population makes Lod Israel's most distinctively aviation-influenced urban environment alongside the surrounding Dan metropolitan background throughout most of the year.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is air quality bad in Lod right now?
On 16 July 2026, overall air quality in Lod is fair. PM1 is the main pollutant at 23.4/100. Pollution peaks around 2:00 PM (O3: 50.6/100).
Will air quality be worse tomorrow in Lod?
On 17 July 2026, air quality conditions in Lod will be similar to today, with NO2 forecast at fair at 35.0/100. Pollution peaks around 2:00 PM (O3: 52.1/100).
When is air pollution at its worst in Lod?
Lod usually sees its poorest air quality when traffic emissions, aviation activity from the nearby airport, along with harbour and shipping traffic coincide with periods when maritime winds die down. Onshore breezes usually help clear the air, but pollution can build up when winds are light. This coastal advantage is less pronounced during still, high-pressure weather.
Are air quality levels in Lod 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.
