Traffic on the A40 is the most significant local emissions source, especially at peak times. Aberaeron's air quality reflects its position within Ceredigion, with local traffic and the town's built-up core as the main contributors. The area's changeable Atlantic weather do most of the work keeping things in check, more so than any local policy or infrastructure change.

Once the heating goes on and the air turns still, pollution from the A40 and nearby chimneys tends to build up rather than clear. Summer's more of a mixed bag: ozone can spike in strong sun, but overall dispersion tends to be better than the depths of winter. The shoulder seasons generally bring the mildest readings of the year.
Are air quality levels in Aberaeron 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.
