Crieff sits within Perth and Kinross, and its air quality profile is driven mainly by road traffic and the density of the centre. Southwesterly winds usually ensure decent dispersal, so levels generally stay within the moderate range typical of UK towns. Traffic on the M74 is the most significant local emissions source, especially at peak times.

When is air pollution at its worst in Crieff?

Here's the thing about Crieff: air quality has a clear seasonal rhythm. Come winter, NO₂ and PM2.5 usually creep up, as heating and calmer air let M74 traffic emissions linger rather than disperse. Summer brings a different issue — stronger sunlight can push up ozone levels on hot, sunny days, even though traffic pollution itself often disperses more easily. Spring and autumn are typically the easiest months, air-quality-wise, for most residents.

Are air quality levels in Crieff 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.
