Most days in Borlänge bring air quality that meets good Swedish and European standards without difficulty. Steel and paper manufacturing, together with ordinary road traffic, accounts for most of the area's local emissions. The natural airflow associated with the Dalälven river works in the area's favour for keeping pollutant levels down. The net effect is that Borlänge experiences air quality broadly consistent with comparable Swedish towns.

When is air pollution at its worst in Borlänge?
When is air quality typically worst in Borlänge? Winter inversions are the main seasonal risk, occasionally trapping smoke and traffic fumes for a day or two during especially calm, cold spells. By spring, more frequent fronts and wind usually disperse pollutants faster, even as tree pollen becomes the bigger seasonal concern. The year's most consistently good air usually falls in summer, when heating season has ended and ventilation improves. The transition into autumn typically brings a slow return of the wood-smoke and calm-air conditions that peak in winter. The seasonal swing here is fairly pronounced, typical of central Swedish towns away from the immediate coast.
Are air quality levels in Borlänge 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.
