vehicle traffic and Bucharest commuter routes is the main factor behind local air quality trends in Buftea, set against its position on the plain northwest of Bucharest within Ilfov. Days with active weather systems tend to bring the clearest conditions, while extended calm spells allow local emissions to build up more noticeably.

When is air pollution at its worst in Buftea?
In Buftea, the combination of oak and hornbeam pollen peaks and vehicle traffic and Bucharest commuter routes accounts for most of the noticeable dips in air quality; Ilfov's broader weather patterns tend to restore clearer conditions fairly quickly afterward.
Are air quality levels in Buftea 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.
