Hegang's air quality reflects the Heilongjiang Province's Songhua River valley coal mining position, with coal mining operations generating elevated coal dust PM10 alongside winter residential coal heating under severe anticyclonic inversions. Summer conditions are considerably better and Hegang generally maintains among Heilongjiang's more distinctively coal mining-defined winter readings throughout the year.

When is air pollution at its worst in Hegang?
In Hegang, quarrying activity is the main local source, with conditions worsening when temperature inversions set in over the 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 Hegang 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.
