When is air pollution at its worst in Stockton-on-Tees?
You can roughly predict Stockton-on-Tees's air quality just by knowing the time of year. Come summer, it's ozone rather than particulates that's the bigger concern, especially on still, sunny days. Through the colder months, readings near the A14 often rise, since chimney smoke and stagnant air stop pollutants clearing away. Spring and autumn don't usually cause much concern, sitting comfortably between winter's peak and summer's ozone spikes.
Are air quality levels in Stockton-on-Tees 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.
