Worst air pollution Bjørkelangen, today and tomorrow

On 9 August 2026, overall air quality in Bjørkelangen is fair. AQI is the main air quality indicator at 32.8/100. Pollution peaks around 11:00 AM (O3: 32.8/100).

On 10 August 2026, air quality conditions in Bjørkelangen will be similar to today, with AQI forecast at fair at 33.3/100. Pollution peaks around 12:00 AM (O3: 33.3/100).

Bjørkelangen residents are most likely to notice reduced air quality on the calmest, coldest days of winter, when a still winter morning can trap both wood-smoke and rush-hour traffic fumes. Regional wind patterns off the Oslofjord usually clear the air within a day or two. Most of the year, conditions in Bjørkelangen stay comfortably within normal ranges.

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.
