Petaẖ Tiqwa's air quality reflects the flat Israeli coastal plain position east of Tel Aviv adjacent to the Yarkon River, with vehicle traffic on surrounding roads and the pharmaceutical, industrial, and residential corridor contributing local sources. Consistent Mediterranean sea breezes provide maritime ventilation, while the flat coastal plain allows reasonable dispersal and Petah Tikva generally maintains moderate to good Israeli coastal plain metropolitan readings throughout most of the year.

Are air quality levels in Petaẖ Tiqwa 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.
