Gela's air quality faces significant industrial challenges from the ENI Gela refinery and petrochemical complex, historically one of Sicily's largest industrial pollution sources generating elevated SO₂, benzene, and industrial PM2.5 alongside vehicle traffic on the SS115. Mediterranean sea breezes from the Gulf of Gela provide coastal ventilation, while the flat Sicilian interior plateau to the north and the coastal plain geometry create topographic variation throughout the year.

Are air quality levels in Gela 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.
