Being part of Devon, North Tawton sees an air quality profile that's largely down to traffic and general town-centre activity. Northwesterly winds off the coast usually ensure decent dispersal, so levels generally stay within the moderate range typical of UK towns. Traffic on the M90 is the most significant local emissions source, especially at peak times.

When is air pollution at its worst in North Tawton?
You can roughly predict North Tawton'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. Warmer months swap one problem for another — less smoke and heating pollution, but more ozone on the sunniest days. The shoulder seasons generally bring the mildest readings of the year.
Are air quality levels in North Tawton 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.
Why doesn’t the forecast always reflect wildfire impacts?
Airmine’s forecast uses CAMS (Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service) as its background atmospheric model. While CAMS includes wildfire emissions, these are derived from satellite observations and are not available in real time. During rapidly evolving wildfire events, there may therefore be a delay before increased emissions are incorporated into the model. As a result, the forecast may temporarily underestimate PM₂.₅ and other pollutants associated with wildfire smoke.
During rapidly evolving wildfire events, CAMS may lag by approximately 1–2 days before increased wildfire emissions are fully represented, which can lead to temporary underestimation of PM₂.₅ concentrations in Airmine’s forecast.
