Oświęcim's air quality profile is influenced chiefly by its Vistula and Soła rivers location, where chemical manufacturing at the Vistula-Soła confluence is the main local emissions source, compounded by local industrial activity. Seasonal variation is notable, with cleaner air typically following stronger winds or rainfall.

When is air pollution at its worst in Oświęcim?
The most noticeable dips in Oświęcim's air quality come when oak and poplar pollen peaks and during stretches of chemical manufacturing at the Vistula-Soła confluence; the clearest air tends to follow a change in wind direction or a spell of rainfall through the region.
Are air quality levels in Oświęcim 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.
