Worst air pollution Barendrecht, today and tomorrow

On 30 August 2026, overall air quality in Barendrecht is fair. AQI is the main air quality indicator at 24.5/100. Pollution peaks around 5:00 PM (O3: 24.5/100).

On 31 August 2026, air quality conditions in Barendrecht will be better than today, with AQI forecast at good at 18.9/100. Pollution peaks around 6:00 PM (O3: 18.9/100).

Barendrecht typically sees the birch, oak, and alder pollen peak during spring and the start of summer, alongside calm, warm days when traffic on the A15 and industry emissions accumulate, as the periods to watch; coastal winds off the North Sea help clear local emissions. Outside these windows, conditions in Barendrecht rarely stray far from the national average.

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.

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.
