Why it ranks here

Likely fire smoke. On Sep 29, when Opole averaged 16.7 µg/m³ (its typical day: 10.4), NASA satellites detected 118 fires within 300 km (14 within 100 km). Smoke from those fires is a likely contributor; we don't check which way the wind blew, and mapped smoke can be high above the ground.

Seasonal. Over the past year its worst months were January, averaging up to 38.9 µg/m³ against 3.8 in its cleanest month. Seasonal peaks usually come from heating, crop burning, fire or dust seasons.

Based on Opole's own measurements, with fire detections from NASA FIRMS and smoke maps from NOAA HMS; causes are the usual kinds for a pattern like this, not a confirmed source.
