In The Torch of Friendship, congested streets and dense urban activity keep particulate matter and nitrogen dioxide readings consistently on the higher side. Nearby trees help trap a portion of this particulate load before it spreads. Short-term spikes can occur with unusual weather or nearby construction and traffic events. Broader regional monitoring generally reflects this same baseline, with small local variation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is air quality bad in The Torch of Friendship right now?
On 20 September 2026, overall air quality in The Torch of Friendship is very poor. AQI is the main air quality indicator at 100/100. Pollution peaks around 10:00 AM (PM10: 100/100).
Will air quality be worse tomorrow in The Torch of Friendship?
On 21 September 2026, air quality conditions in The Torch of Friendship will be similar to today, with AQI forecast at very poor at 96.0/100. Pollution peaks around 11:00 PM (PM10: 96.0/100).
When is air pollution at its worst in The Torch of Friendship?
December through February tends to be calm here, with wind speeds averaging around 19 km/h and temperatures near 23°C -- conditions cool and still enough for particulate matter and smoke to settle near the ground instead of dispersing. Between July and September, average temperatures reach around 29°C here, warm enough for intense heat and sunlight to fuel ground-level ozone formation.
Are air quality levels in The Torch of Friendship 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.
