Felgueiras' air quality reflects the Ave valley in the Porto metropolitan area's northeastern industrial corridor, with vehicle traffic on the A11 and surrounding footwear, textile, and cork manufacturing contributing local sources. Atlantic westerlies generally provide maritime ventilation, while the surrounding Penha and Marão mountains create topographic variation and the footwear and leather manufacturing operations add distinctive VOC and chemical emissions alongside the primary vehicle sources throughout the year.

When is air pollution at its worst in Felgueiras?
The most noticeable dips in Felgueiras's air quality come when highland landscape oak and eucalyptus pollen peaks, or because of vehicle traffic on the A11 and local footwear, textile, and cork manufacturing; the rest of the year typically brings clearer, more consistent conditions.
Are air quality levels in Felgueiras 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.
