Tavistock sits within Devon, and its air quality profile is driven mainly by road traffic and the density of the centre. Shifting coastal winds help ventilate the town centre, keeping air quality at moderate levels typical for the region. Traffic on the A14 is the most significant local emissions source, especially at peak times.

When is air pollution at its worst in Tavistock?
In Tavistock, pollution levels don't stay flat — winter and summer look pretty different. Come winter, NO₂ and PM2.5 usually creep up, as heating and calmer air let A14 traffic emissions linger rather than disperse. Come summer, it's ozone rather than particulates that's the bigger concern, especially on still, sunny days. The shoulder seasons generally bring the mildest readings of the year.
Are air quality levels in Tavistock 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.
