Qiryat Gat's air quality reflects the flat Israeli southern coastal plain position at the Lachish River valley, with vehicle traffic on surrounding roads and the Intel semiconductor fab and industrial corridor contributing elevated industrial PM2.5. Consistent Mediterranean sea breezes provide maritime ventilation, while the semiconductor operations' distinctive industrial character represents Qiryat Gat's most locally notable emission source and the flat coastal plain allows reasonable dispersal throughout most of the year.

Are air quality levels in Qiryat Gat 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.
