Chaozhou's air quality reflects the Guangdong eastern coastal Hanjiang River delta position, with consistent South China Sea trade winds providing maritime ventilation. Vehicle traffic on surrounding expressways and the ceramics — Chaozhou being China's porcelain capital — and food processing corridor generate distinctive ceramic kiln dust PM10 and SO₂. The coastal maritime exposure provides ventilation, while the ceramics industry's distinctive kiln and clay emissions represent Chaozhou's most locally unique air quality signature throughout most of the year.
