The nearby A82 corridor contributes steady vehicle emissions that affect roadside readings. Eastleigh sits within Hampshire, and its air quality profile is driven mainly by road traffic and the density of the centre. The region's typical south-westerlies help ventilate the town centre, keeping air quality at moderate levels typical for the region.

When is air pollution at its worst in Eastleigh?

If you're tracking air quality in Eastleigh, expect it to move around quite a bit through the year. By summer, ozone tends to rise on bright days, while better ventilation generally keeps particulate and NO₂ levels lower than winter. Once the heating goes on and the air turns still, pollution from the A82 and nearby chimneys tends to build up rather than clear. Spring and autumn are typically the easiest months, air-quality-wise, for most residents.

Are air quality levels in Eastleigh 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.
