Pavia's air quality faces the Po Valley's notorious enclosed basin, with vehicle traffic on the A7 and A21 motorways and surrounding manufacturing and university industry contributing local sources. The Ticino-Po river confluence provides limited ventilation, while the flat Po plain's persistent winter anticyclones create extended inversion episodes and the Po Valley's combined agricultural ammonia and vehicle NOₓ generate the characteristic northern Italian secondary particulate burden throughout the year.

Are air quality levels in Pavia 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.
