Worst air pollution Dickson Township, today and tomorrow

On 9 August 2026, overall air quality in Dickson Township is medium. AQI is the main air quality indicator at 40.9/100. Pollution peaks around 9:00 AM (O3: 40.9/100).

On 10 August 2026, air quality conditions in Dickson Township will be worse than today, with AQI forecast at fair at 34.0/100. Pollution peaks around 11:00 AM (O3: 34.0/100).

The depths of winter usually mark the low point for local air quality, as cold, still air holds wood smoke and heating emissions close to the ground through winter. As temperatures rise, ozone typically becomes the dominant summer issue around here, as sunlight and heat combine to form ozone, with occasional smoke drift adding to the load.

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.

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.
