Slatina's air quality faces challenges from the ALRO aluminium smelter, one of Romania's largest industrial operations generating elevated fluoride, SO₂, and PM2.5 in the Olt river valley of Oltenia. The Olt valley's partial topographic enclosure and winter residential heating compound the industrial smelter's emissions, while the flat Wallachian plain to the south provides better dispersal on southerly wind days and the aluminium operations represent Slatina's most distinctive and persistent local air quality challenge.

When is air pollution at its worst in Slatina?
Reduced air quality in Slatina is most likely when nearby industrial green spaces oak and linden pollen peaks, alongside periods of the ALRO aluminium smelter, one of Romania's largest industrial operations; the rest of the calendar year is generally more forgiving for air quality.
Are air quality levels in Slatina 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.
