Local air quality in Bałuty owes much to its position near the a northern working-class district of former textile-mill housing, with vehicle traffic and local urban emissions contributing local emissions alongside seasonal farm-machinery and harvest dust. Winter months bring the most persistent challenges here, with summer generally milder.

When is air pollution at its worst in Bałuty?
In Bałuty, reduced air quality is most noticeable when oak and linden pollen peaks alongside periods of vehicle traffic and local urban emissions; outside those periods, conditions here are generally more forgiving than in many other Polish towns of similar size.
Are air quality levels in Bałuty 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.
