Lancaster's Amish Country air quality benefits from the flat Lancaster County agricultural plain position, with consistent Atlantic westerlies providing reliable ventilation across the extraordinary Plain community farmland landscape. Vehicle traffic on the surrounding US-30 contributes tourist sources, while the distinctive horse-drawn transportation creates negligible vehicle exhaust and the extraordinary preserved agricultural landscape generally maintains good to moderate conditions throughout most of the year.

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.
