Local air quality in Środula owes much to its position near the a western district of former mining housing, with vehicle traffic and local urban emissions and seasonal farm-machinery and harvest dust standing out as the two main local drivers. Seasonal variation is notable, with cleaner air typically following stronger winds or rainfall.

When is air pollution at its worst in Środula?
In Środula, reduced air quality is most noticeable when birch and linden pollen peaks or because of vehicle traffic and local urban emissions; the clearest air tends to follow a change in wind direction or a spell of rainfall through the region.
Are air quality levels in Środula 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.
