When is air pollution at its worst in Kumila?

The biggest local contributors to pollution in Kumila are road traffic, manufacturing and food processing, together with agricultural burning, particularly once conditions turn dry between monsoons. The wet season generally clears the air, while the dry season lets levels build back up. Outside the monsoon, dry-season stagnation can let pollution build up further.

Are air quality levels in Kumila 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.
