Lucca's air quality reflects the Lucca plain at the edge of the Apennine foothills, with vehicle traffic on the A11 motorway and surrounding manufacturing and tourism operations contributing local sources. The surrounding Apuan Alps and Apennine ridgelines create topographic variation, while the flat Lucca plain can concentrate emissions under calm winter conditions and the Arno valley corridor provides the primary ventilation pathway on westerly wind days.

When is air pollution at its worst in Lucca?
In Lucca, reduced air quality is most noticeable when local tree and grass allergens peaks, and on days affected by vehicle traffic on the A11 motorway and surrounding manufacturing and tourism operations; a shift to wetter or windier weather typically brings noticeable relief.
Are air quality levels in Lucca 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.
