Doetinchem's air quality reflects the Oude IJssel valley in the Achterhoek region near the German border, with vehicle traffic on the A18 motorway and surrounding manufacturing and logistics industry contributing local sources. The flat eastern Netherlands terrain provides reasonable dispersal, while the proximity to the German Rhine-Ruhr industrial corridor means Doetinchem receives some cross-border industrial background pollution on easterly winds and consistent North Sea westerlies provide the primary ventilation throughout the year.

When is air pollution at its worst in Doetinchem?
Doetinchem tends to see its biggest air quality dips in the spring-to-early-summer window, when birch, oak, and pine pollen peaks, or on still, warm days when traffic on the A18 and industry emissions linger; the surrounding river valley and woodland help emissions disperse. For most of the year, air quality here tracks closely with typical conditions across the Netherlands.
Are air quality levels in Doetinchem 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.
