Crotone's air quality faces significant industrial challenges from the former Pertusola Sud zinc and lead smelter legacy and the ENI Syndial chemical complex, with historical heavy metal contamination and current industrial operations generating elevated PM2.5 and heavy metals alongside vehicle traffic on the SS107. Mediterranean sea breezes from the Ionian Sea provide coastal ventilation, while the industrial legacy makes Crotone one of southern Italy's more heavily metal-contaminated urban environments, though emission reductions have improved conditions considerably.

Are air quality levels in Crotone 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.
