In The Bronx, traffic is light, so farmland dust and burning matter more than congestion. With little green space nearby, not much buffers this particulate matter. Weather is the biggest factor in how daily figures swing. Readings shift with wind direction, traffic, and weather.

When is air pollution at its worst in The Bronx?
The colder months bring the sharpest rise in particulate matter, driven by home heating.. As the weather warms, ozone takes over as the main concern here.. Spring and fall usually see the lowest particulate and ozone levels of the year.
Are air quality levels in The Bronx 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.
