Monroe's air quality in Louisiana reflects the Ouachita River valley's flat terrain, with vehicle emissions from I-20 and surrounding paper and chemical manufacturing contributing local sources. The flat Gulf Coastal Plain provides reasonable wind dispersal, while regional ozone from the Louisiana industrial airshed and agricultural burning contribute to seasonal air quality variation throughout the year.

When is air pollution at its worst in Monroe?

Monroe follows a fairly predictable seasonal air quality pattern. Typically, winter generally brings the cleanest air of the year, while heat, humidity, and the local petrochemical industry combine to drive both ozone and particulate levels up for much of the summer. Industrial corridors nearby tend to see more persistent background pollution than surrounding suburban areas.

Are air quality levels in Monroe 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.
