Baicheng in Jilin reflects the flat Jilin western Tao'er River plain's semi-arid agricultural position, with vehicle traffic on surrounding roads and the agricultural processing, soda ash chemical, and manufacturing corridor contributing local sources. Windblown Horqin Sandy Land dust contributes elevated PM10 during spring sand storms, while winter coal heating under anticyclonic inversions compounds dust and local industrial emissions and Baicheng generally maintains moderate Jilin western corridor readings throughout the year.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is air quality bad in Baicheng right now?
On 10 August 2026, overall air quality in Baicheng is fair. NO2 is the main pollutant at 22.3/100. Pollution peaks around 3:00 PM (O3: 56.4/100).
Will air quality be worse tomorrow in Baicheng?
On 11 August 2026, air quality conditions in Baicheng will be similar to today, with PM1 forecast at fair at 24.8/100. Pollution peaks around 9:00 PM (NO2: 44.7/100).
When is air pollution at its worst in Baicheng?
Baicheng usually sees its poorest air quality when traffic emissions, steel, cement, and chemical production, and manufacturing activity coincide with periods when windblown dust events occur. Dust carried on these winds adds substantially to particulate levels. Fuel burned for winter heating adds an extra layer of particulates on top of other sources.
Are air quality levels in Baicheng 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.
