The Obra River location of Kościan plays the biggest role in local air quality, where sugar-beet farmland of the Wielkopolska lowland is the main local emissions source, compounded by traffic on the surrounding expressway network. Overall, Kościan's readings sit close to the regional Wielkopolskie average for most of the year.

When is air pollution at its worst in Kościan?

Air quality dips in Kościan mostly track when oak and linden pollen peaks and during stretches of sugar-beet farmland of the Wielkopolska lowland; conditions generally ease once the season shifts and rainfall or stronger winds return to clear the air across the wider area.

Are air quality levels in Kościan 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.
