Kazan's air quality reflects the flat Volga-Kama River confluence position at 116 metres in the Tatarstan Republic, with vehicle traffic on surrounding roads and the petrochemical, manufacturing, and vehicle density corridor generating elevated PM2.5 under winter anticyclonic inversions. The flat Russian plain allows reasonable summer dispersal, while winter residential heating and the petrochemical corridor's industrial background create seasonal PM2.5 challenges and Kazan generally maintains moderate to elevated Russian Volga industrial capital readings throughout the winter months.

When is air pollution at its worst in Kazan?
The biggest local contributors to pollution in Kazan are traffic on the surrounding roads, steel, cement, and chemical production, and manufacturing and food processing, particularly once windblown dust events occur. These wind events can carry dust in from the surrounding arid landscape. Coal and wood used for winter heating add substantially to particulate levels.
Are air quality levels in Kazan 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.
