Brindisi's air quality faces significant industrial challenges from the Edison thermoelectric power station and the surrounding petrochemical and fertiliser complex, generating elevated SO₂ and industrial PM2.5 in the Adriatic coastal plain. The Adriatic sea breezes provide coastal ventilation on easterly winds, while the flat Puglia plain generally allows reasonable dispersal and the industrial complex's scale represents Brindisi's most distinctive and persistent local air quality challenge.

When is air pollution at its worst in Brindisi?
Residents in Brindisi are likeliest to notice reduced air quality when waterfront olive and pine pollen peaks, or due to the Edison thermoelectric power station and the nearby petrochemical and fertiliser complex; a shift to wetter or windier weather typically brings noticeable relief.
Are air quality levels in Brindisi 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.
Why doesn’t the forecast always reflect wildfire impacts?
Airmine’s forecast uses CAMS (Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service) as its background atmospheric model. While CAMS includes wildfire emissions, these are derived from satellite observations and are not available in real time. During rapidly evolving wildfire events, there may therefore be a delay before increased emissions are incorporated into the model. As a result, the forecast may temporarily underestimate PM₂.₅ and other pollutants associated with wildfire smoke.
During rapidly evolving wildfire events, CAMS may lag by approximately 1–2 days before increased wildfire emissions are fully represented, which can lead to temporary underestimation of PM₂.₅ concentrations in Airmine’s forecast.
