When is air pollution at its worst in Blairgowrie?

Blairgowrie doesn't have one fixed air quality level — it swings between two extremes each year. Come winter, NO₂ and PM2.5 usually creep up, as heating and calmer air let M74 traffic emissions linger rather than disperse. 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. Spring and autumn are typically the easiest months, air-quality-wise, for most residents.

Are air quality levels in Blairgowrie 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.
