Elbląg's air quality reflects the flat Żuławy Vistula delta lowland in northern Poland, with vehicle traffic on the S7 expressway and surrounding engineering and food manufacturing contributing local sources. Baltic westerlies from Gdańsk Bay generally provide maritime ventilation, while winter residential coal and wood burning generates seasonal PM2.5 elevation and the flat coastal terrain allows reasonable dispersal on most days.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is air quality bad in Elbląg right now?
On 9 August 2026, overall air quality in Elbląg is fair. O3 is the main pollutant at 26.7/100. Pollution peaks around 2:00 AM (NO2: 40.5/100).
Will air quality be worse tomorrow in Elbląg?

When is air pollution at its worst in Elbląg?
Reduced air quality in Elbląg is most likely when canal corridor oak and birch pollen peaks, alongside periods of vehicle traffic on the S7 expressway and local engineering and food manufacturing; cooler, breezier weather later in the year tends to bring things back down.
Are air quality levels in Elbląg 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.
