Seixal's air quality reflects its position on the southern bank of the Tagus estuary opposite Lisbon, with the Seixal industrial zone's steel and chemical operations and heavy traffic on the A2 contributing elevated PM2.5 and SO₂. The Tagus estuary generally provides ventilation from Atlantic westerlies, while the Arrábida Natural Park to the south provides a clean-air backdrop, and the prevailing northwesterly winds over the estuary generally carry Lisbon's urban emissions southward toward the Seixal and Almada shoreline.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is air quality bad in Seixal right now?

On 30 August 2026, overall air quality in Seixal is moderate. AQI is the main air quality indicator at 41.2/100. Pollution peaks around 1:00 PM (O3: 41.2/100).

When is air pollution at its worst in Seixal?

People in Seixal tend to notice reduced air quality when estuary pine and eucalyptus pollen peaks, or because of the Seixal industrial zone's steel and chemical operations and heavy traffic on the A2; conditions usually ease once the wet season or windier weather returns.

Are air quality levels in Seixal 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.
