Stourbridge sits within Dudley, and its air quality profile is driven mainly by road traffic and the density of the centre. The nearby A40 corridor contributes steady vehicle emissions that affect roadside readings. The dominant maritime airflow generally provide reasonable ventilation, keeping levels close to typical UK urban averages for a town this size.

When is air pollution at its worst in Stourbridge?
Stourbridge's air quality follows a familiar seasonal pattern most UK towns share. Once the heating goes on and the air turns still, pollution from the A40 and nearby chimneys tends to build up rather than clear. In summer, ozone can build up on sunny afternoons, though windier, warmer weather usually helps clear traffic-related pollution faster than in winter. Spring and autumn usually sit somewhere in between, so it's really the extremes of the year worth watching.
Are air quality levels in Stourbridge 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.
