Rahat's air quality reflects the flat Israeli Negev Desert position adjacent to Beersheba, with vehicle traffic on surrounding roads and the residential, services, and light manufacturing character 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 Rahat generally maintains moderate to elevated Israeli Negev metropolitan corridor readings throughout most of the year.

When is air pollution at its worst in Rahat?
In Rahat, vehicle traffic along with manufacturing and food processing are the main local sources, with conditions worsening when windblown dust events occur. Dust carried on these winds adds substantially to particulate levels. These episodes tend to cluster in spring and autumn.
Are air quality levels in Rahat 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.
