In First Ward, with lighter traffic here, particulate matter tends to come more from farmland dust and occasional burning than from vehicles. Vegetation nearby provides a modest natural filter for airborne particulates. Local monitoring for the wider area tends to track closely with this general pattern. Conditions on any given day depend heavily on wind speed and direction locally.

When is air pollution at its worst in First Ward?

Winter months routinely bring the sharpest rise in particulate matter to this area, driven by the combination of home heating and calm winter air that resists mixing. As the weather warms, ozone tends to overtake other concerns in this area, as warm, sunny conditions drive ozone formation, sometimes worsened by smoke from distant wildfires.

Are air quality levels in First Ward 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.
