Sunndal kommune's air quality reflects the Nordmøre inner Sunndalsfjord position, with vehicle traffic and the Hydro Sunndal aluminium plant — one of Europe's largest aluminium smelters — generating elevated industrial PM2.5 and fluoride alongside local sources. The fjord's narrow valley creates topographic concentration under calm conditions, while fjord breezes provide periodic ventilation and the extraordinary aluminium smelter represents Sunndal's most distinctive and significant industrial air quality contribution throughout the year.

Are air quality levels in Sunndal kommune 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.
