Fuqing's air quality benefits from the Fujian coastal Fuqing Bay position on the Taiwan Strait, with consistent Taiwan Strait breezes providing maritime ventilation. Vehicle traffic on surrounding expressways and the Fuqing nuclear power station — China's first self-designed nuclear plant — and manufacturing corridor contribute local sources, while the nuclear plant's essentially zero combustion emissions and the coastal exposure generally maintain Fuqing among Fujian's more moderately ventilated coastal cities throughout most of the year.

When is air pollution at its worst in Fuqing?
Fuqing usually sees its poorest air quality when vehicle traffic, the local power plant, as well as textile and manufacturing operations coincide with periods when onshore breezes fall calm. Onshore breezes usually help clear the air, but pollution can build up when winds are light. This coastal advantage is less pronounced during still, high-pressure weather.
Are air quality levels in Fuqing 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.
