When is air pollution at its worst in Zutphen?

People visiting or living in Zutphen generally notice the biggest dip in air quality through spring and into early summer, when birch, oak, and pine pollen peaks, or on windless, warm days when traffic on the A1 and industry emissions gather; nearby woodland and open fields generally help keep the air clear. Most weeks outside these periods bring Zutphen conditions close to the broader Dutch norm.

Are air quality levels in Zutphen 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.
