Emissions along the M4 represent the town's main traffic-related pollution source. Nantwich sits within Cheshire East, and its air quality profile is driven mainly by road traffic and the density of the centre. Thanks to cooler northerly winds, pollution rarely lingers for long, which keeps average readings fairly unremarkable by UK standards.

When is air pollution at its worst in Nantwich?
Nantwich doesn't have one fixed air quality level — it swings between two extremes each year. Summer's more of a mixed bag: ozone can spike in strong sun, but overall dispersion tends to be better than the depths of winter. The coldest months usually bring the worst readings, as heating and temperature inversions keep M4 emissions from dispersing normally. Spring and autumn are typically the easiest months, air-quality-wise, for most residents.
Are air quality levels in Nantwich 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.
