Severn's air quality reflects the Anne Arundel County suburban position between Baltimore and the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland, with vehicle emissions from I-97 and the surrounding suburban residential and government corridor contributing local sources. The broader Baltimore-Washington mid-Atlantic regional airshed contributes elevated summer ozone, while the flat Maryland Coastal Plain allows reasonable dispersal and the Chesapeake Bay's maritime influence provides periodic ventilation from the east throughout the year.

When is air pollution at its worst in Severn?

Severn sees air quality change through the year. Typically, winter generally brings the cleanest air, once the summer ozone season has passed, while extended summer heat waves, often worsened by regional haze, bring the toughest air quality stretch. Suburban and rural areas generally see less of the persistent traffic-driven pollution that affects the urban core.

Are air quality levels in Severn 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.
