Dazhou's air quality reflects the Sichuan Basin's eastern Qu River valley position, with vehicle traffic on surrounding expressways and the natural gas, coal, and chemical corridor contributing local sources. The Sichuan Basin's topographic enclosure creates concentration under winter inversions, while the natural gas operations and coal mining add distinctive industrial emissions and Dazhou generally maintains moderate Sichuan Basin eastern corridor readings throughout the year.

When is air pollution at its worst in Dazhou?

Dazhou usually sees its poorest air quality when vehicle traffic, petrochemical and refining operations, along with quarrying activity coincide with periods when calm, stagnant conditions settle in the surrounding valley. The surrounding valley terrain holds pollutants near the surface rather than letting them disperse. These wind events can carry dust in from the surrounding arid landscape.

Are air quality levels in Dazhou 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.
