Novi Sad's air quality reflects its position in the Danube floodplain in the flat Vojvodina plain, with vehicle traffic on the E75 and the surrounding food processing and manufacturing industry contributing elevated PM2.5 alongside the primary vehicle NOₓ sources. The Danube river corridor provides ventilation, while winter residential wood and coal burning generates seasonal PM2.5 elevation, and the flat Pannonian plain generally allows reasonable wind dispersal on most days throughout the year.

On 9 August 2026, overall air quality in Novi Sad is fair. O3 is the main pollutant at 39.2/100. Pollution peaks around 11:00 PM (NO2: 53.0/100).

When is air pollution at its worst in Novi Sad?
Reduced air quality in Novi Sad is most likely when poplar and linden pollen peaks, alongside periods of vehicle traffic on the E75 and the neighbouring food processing and manufacturing industry; the picture usually improves again once the season turns.
Are air quality levels in Novi Sad 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.
