Commuter traffic feeding onto the M90 adds a further, consistent contribution to local readings. Like much of London, City of, Crystal Palace Park's air quality is shaped less by industry these days and more by everyday road traffic. Thanks to moist Atlantic fronts, pollution rarely lingers for long, which keeps average readings fairly unremarkable by UK standards.

When is air pollution at its worst in Crystal Palace Park?
For much of spring and autumn, things settle into a fairly unremarkable middle ground. You can roughly predict Crystal Palace Park's air quality just by knowing the time of year. Winter tends to be worst, with wood burning, home heating, and still, cold air trapping traffic fumes from the M90 closer to ground level. Come summer, it's ozone rather than particulates that's the bigger concern, especially on still, sunny days.
Are air quality levels in Crystal Palace Park 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.
