Smederevo's air quality faces significant industrial challenges from the HBIS Group Serbia Steel complex, one of southeastern Europe's largest steelworks generating elevated PM10, SO₂, and heavy metals alongside vehicle traffic on the E75 on the Danube. The Danube valley provides limited ventilation, while the flat Pannonian plain generally allows reasonable dispersal and winter inversions concentrate steel plant and urban emissions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is air quality bad in Smederevo right now?

On 9 August 2026, overall air quality in Smederevo is medium. AQI is the main air quality indicator at 48.7/100. Pollution peaks around 3:00 PM (O3: 48.7/100).

Will air quality be worse tomorrow in Smederevo?

On 10 August 2026, air quality conditions in Smederevo will be worse than today, with AQI forecast at very poor at 93.1/100. Pollution peaks around 6:00 PM (O3: 93.1/100).

When is air pollution at its worst in Smederevo?

People in Smederevo tend to notice reduced air quality when local tree and grass pollen peaks, or because of the HBIS Group Serbia Steel complex, one of southeastern Europe's largest steelworks; the rest of the calendar year typically brings clearer, more consistent conditions.

Are air quality levels in Smederevo 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.
