Smithtown's air quality in Long Island benefits from Long Island Sound coastal proximity, with consistent maritime breezes providing reliable ventilation along this Suffolk County suburban shoreline. Vehicle emissions from the Long Island Expressway and Route 25 are the primary local sources, while prevailing westerlies carry the broader New York City metropolitan area's pollution plume eastward across Long Island throughout the year.

Coastal sea breezes can offer some relief from inland summer ozone buildup.

Are air quality levels in Smithtown 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.
