As a river-orchard town within Gelderland, Tiel's air quality is shaped by its setting, with traffic on the A15 motorway and local industry contributing the main sources of urban pollution. the Waal river contributes to reasonable dispersal here, and the fruit-growing Betuwe orchard region is part of what keeps readings near the national average across most of the year.

When is air pollution at its worst in Tiel?

In Tiel, air quality is most likely to dip when pollen from birch, oak, and pine peaks across the spring and early-summer stretch, or on hot, still days when local traffic on the A15 and industry let emissions build up; the surrounding river valley and woodland help emissions disperse. Most weeks outside these periods bring Tiel conditions close to the broader Dutch norm.

Are air quality levels in Tiel 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.
