Like much of Hertfordshire, Ware's air quality is shaped less by industry these days and more by everyday road traffic. Emissions along the A483 represent the town's main traffic-related pollution source. The region's typical south-westerlies help ventilate the town centre, keeping air quality at moderate levels typical for the region.

When is air pollution at its worst in Ware?
There's a clear yearly cycle to air quality in Ware if you look closely. Come summer, it's ozone rather than particulates that's the bigger concern, especially on still, sunny days. Winter tends to be worst, with wood burning, home heating, and still, cold air trapping traffic fumes from the A483 closer to ground level. Most of spring and autumn stays fairly steady, right in the middle of those two extremes.
Are air quality levels in Ware 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.
