Daqing's air quality reflects the flat Heilongjiang Songhua Plain's oil field position, with vehicle traffic on surrounding expressways and the Daqing Oilfield — China's largest — and petrochemical corridor generating elevated industrial SO₂, VOCs, and PM2.5. Winter residential coal heating extensively compounds petrochemical industrial emissions under severe anticyclonic inversions, while summer conditions are considerably better and Daqing maintains China's most distinctively petroleum extraction-defined provincial urban air quality environment throughout the year.

When is air pollution at its worst in Daqing?
In Daqing, traffic on the surrounding roads together with petrochemical and refining operations are the main local sources, with conditions worsening when dry spells bring strong winds. These wind events can carry dust in from the surrounding arid landscape. Residential heating through the colder months is a major seasonal source of particulates.
Are air quality levels in Daqing 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.
