Konin's air quality faces serious challenges from the Pątnów-Adamów-Konin lignite power station complex, one of Poland's largest open-cast mining and energy generation corridors generating elevated SO₂ and PM2.5 alongside vehicle traffic on the A2 motorway. The flat Greater Poland lowland provides reasonable dispersal on most days, while the lignite mining's pervasive landscape and energy generation influence makes Konin Poland's most distinctively lignite mining-defined urban air quality environment.

When is air pollution at its worst in Konin?

People in Konin tend to notice reduced air quality when local tree and grass allergens peaks, or because of the Pątnów-Adamów-Konin lignite power station complex, one of Poland's largest open-cast mining and energy; the clearest air tends to follow a change in wind direction or rainfall here.

Are air quality levels in Konin 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.
