Hebi's air quality reflects the flat North China Plain's northern Henan coal mining position, with vehicle traffic on surrounding expressways and the coal mining, coking, and chemical corridor generating elevated coal dust PM10. Winter residential and industrial coal heating extensively compounds mining background under frequent inversions, while the flat terrain allows reasonable summer dispersal and Hebi maintains a distinctively coal industry-influenced air quality environment throughout the year.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is air quality bad in Hebi right now?
On 16 July 2026, overall air quality in Hebi is very poor. AQI is the main air quality indicator at 100/100. Pollution peaks around 12:00 PM (O3: 100/100).
Will air quality be worse tomorrow in Hebi?

When is air pollution at its worst in Hebi?
The biggest local contributors to pollution in Hebi are road traffic, steel, cement, and chemical production, along with mining and quarrying operations, particularly once dry spells bring strong winds. Strong seasonal winds can lift dust from the surrounding dry terrain and push particulate levels sharply higher. Fuel burned for winter heating adds an extra layer of particulates on top of other sources.
Are air quality levels in Hebi 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.
