Worst air pollution Lugoj, today and tomorrow

On 10 August 2026, overall air quality in Lugoj is fair. AQI is the main air quality indicator at 39.1/100. Pollution peaks around 6:00 PM (O3: 39.1/100).

On 11 August 2026, air quality conditions in Lugoj will be similar to today, with NO2 forecast at fair at 23.1/100. Pollution peaks around 7:00 PM (O3: 46.2/100).

In Lugoj, reduced air quality is most noticeable when oak and birch pollen is at its peak, and on days affected by agricultural activity and vehicle traffic across the plain; conditions tend to settle down again once weather patterns shift and the local Timiş terrain ventilates more freely, usually bringing several weeks of steadier readings.

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.

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.
