In Stony Island Park, this area sees modest traffic, so seasonal field work and occasional open burning shape air quality more than congestion. Trees and green space some 529m from here provide a partial buffer, catching particulate matter before it spreads further. Conditions on any given day depend heavily on wind speed and direction locally.

When is air pollution at its worst in Stony Island Park?
Cold-season conditions typically drive the sharpest particulate increases around here, driven by heating season smoke that lingers under stagnant, cold winter air. Summer heat pushes ozone to the forefront of local air quality concerns, which forms readily in strong sunlight and heat, and can spike further during wildfire smoke events. Spring and fall typically bring a welcome improvement, as milder temperatures and better wind flow clear the air.
Are air quality levels in Stony Island Park 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.
