Commuter traffic feeding onto the M74 adds a further, consistent contribution to local readings.

When is air pollution at its worst in Bloxwich?

Spring and autumn don't usually cause much concern, sitting comfortably between winter's peak and summer's ozone spikes. Bloxwich doesn't have one fixed air quality level — it swings between two extremes each year. In deep winter, a lack of wind lets M74 traffic fumes and woodsmoke settle instead of blowing through. In summer, ozone can build up on sunny afternoons, though windier, warmer weather usually helps clear traffic-related pollution faster than in winter.

Are air quality levels in Bloxwich 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.
