Tarnowskie Góry's air quality faces significant challenges as part of the Upper Silesian Coal Basin, with the legacy of zinc and lead mining and smelting generating elevated heavy metal particulates alongside vehicle traffic on the A1 motorway and residential coal burning. The flat Silesian basin provides some wind dispersal, while the industrial density of the surrounding Katowice conurbation maintains elevated background pollution and the zinc-lead mining legacy makes Tarnowskie Góry one of Poland's more heavy metal-influenced urban environments.

When is air pollution at its worst in Tarnowskie Góry?
Reduced air quality in Tarnowskie Góry is most likely when birch and pine pollen peaks, alongside periods of the legacy of zinc and lead mining and smelting; the remainder of the year typically brings clearer, more consistent conditions.
Are air quality levels in Tarnowskie Góry 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.
