Fuzhou in Fujian benefits from its Minjiang River delta coastal position, with consistent Taiwan Strait and East China Sea breezes providing reliable maritime ventilation. Vehicle traffic on surrounding expressways and the electronics, footwear, and manufacturing corridor contribute local sources, while the coastal maritime exposure generally maintains Fuzhou among Fujian's more moderately ventilated coastal provincial capital cities throughout most of the year.

When is air pollution at its worst in Fuzhou?
The biggest local contributors to pollution in Fuzhou are traffic emissions as well as manufacturing activity, particularly once the sea breeze weakens. 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 Fuzhou 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.
