Old Bridge's air quality reflects the Raritan Bay coastal position in Middlesex County New Jersey, with vehicle emissions from the Garden State Parkway and the surrounding suburban residential and industrial corridor contributing local sources. The Raritan Bay maritime influence provides periodic ventilation from the south, while the broader New York-New Jersey metropolitan area's regional ozone and PM2.5 on prevailing southwesterlies elevates background pollution above the New Jersey coastal baseline throughout the year.

Are air quality levels in Old Bridge 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.
