DescriptionA veil of haze over northern Italy and air quality issues (Copernicus).jpg |
English: At the beginning of October, a high-pressure system brought clear skies to northern Italy, but also an increase in particulate matter concentrations in the Po Valley. According to local authorities, in cities like Milan and Turin, PM10 and PM2.5 levels exceeded WHO thresholds and limits for key air pollutants that pose health risks. This image, acquired by one of Copernicus Sentinel-3 satellites on 3 October, shows a veil of haze stretching from Piedmont to the Adriatic Sea. Air quality monitoring and forecasting is one of the main focuses of the Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS). In a recent article, CAMS discussed the most common air quality issues in autumn and the tools available to keep track of them. Read more here. |
