Traffic on the A483 is the most significant local emissions source, especially at peak times. Blyth's position in Northumberland means air quality is mostly determined by local road traffic and the compact scale of the centre. Light prevailing breezes do most of the work keeping things in check, more so than any local policy or infrastructure change.

When is air pollution at its worst in Blyth?
You can roughly predict Blyth's air quality just by knowing the time of year. The coldest months usually bring the worst readings, as heating and temperature inversions keep A483 emissions from dispersing normally. Summer sunshine can drive up ozone locally, though overall air generally moves and clears more freely than in winter. Spring and autumn are typically the easiest months, air-quality-wise, for most residents.
Are air quality levels in Blyth 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.
