Požarevac's air quality faces significant challenges from the Kostolac coal-fired power station complex on the Danube, generating elevated SO₂ and PM2.5 alongside vehicle traffic on the A1 motorway and residential heating in this eastern Serbian city. The flat Pannonian plain generally allows reasonable dispersal, while temperature inversions concentrate power station and urban emissions under calm winter conditions and the Danube corridor provides limited ventilation throughout the year.

When is air pollution at its worst in Požarevac?
Reduced air quality in Požarevac is most likely when oak and poplar pollen peaks, alongside periods of the Kostolac coal-fired power station complex on the Danube; the picture usually improves again once the season turns.
Are air quality levels in Požarevac 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.
