Gothenburg's air quality is generally good, benefiting from consistent North Sea westerlies and the Göta river estuary providing maritime ventilation. The Port of Gothenburg, Sweden's largest, contributes shipping emissions that elevate NOₓ along the harbour corridor, while vehicle traffic on the E6 and E20 motorways are the primary urban emission sources. Atlantic storms regularly wash the atmosphere clean throughout the year.

When is air pollution at its worst in Heden Arena?
What is the yearly air quality pattern like in Heden Arena? Air tends to be least fresh in deep winter, when household heating and traffic emissions get trapped under still, cold air masses. Spring typically brings a steady improvement, with more unsettled, breezy weather flushing out accumulated pollutants. The warmer months usually see the cleanest air of the year, aided by better ventilation and reduced wood-burning. By October and November, cooling air and calmer evenings start to mirror the patterns that intensify further in winter. The area's relatively mild climate softens these seasonal differences compared with more northern parts of the country.
Are air quality levels in Heden Arena 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.
