Qormi's air quality reflects Malta's central industrial city position adjacent to Valletta, with vehicle traffic on surrounding roads and the manufacturing, food processing, and logistics corridor contributing elevated industrial emissions in the small island's most industrially concentrated urban corridor. The Mediterranean's sea breezes provide background ventilation, while the small island geography concentrates all emissions and Qormi generally maintains moderate to elevated Maltese industrial city readings throughout most of the year.

When is air pollution at its worst in Qormi?
Pollution in Qormi typically rises when traffic emissions as well as manufacturing and food processing combine, especially once windblown dust events occur. These wind events can carry dust in from the surrounding arid landscape. Sea breezes typically keep conditions in check, except during still weather.
Are air quality levels in Qormi 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.
