Huai'an's air quality reflects the flat Jiangsu Huaihe River plain's ancient Grand Canal position, with vehicle traffic on surrounding expressways and the salt chemical, logistics, and manufacturing corridor contributing local sources. Winter anticyclonic inversions concentrate industrial and heating emissions, while the flat terrain allows reasonable summer dispersal and Huai'an generally maintains moderate Jiangsu northern plain provincial readings throughout most of the year.

When is air pollution at its worst in Huai’an?

The biggest local contributors to pollution in Huai’an are traffic on the surrounding roads, heavy industry such as steel, cement, or petrochemical processing, and light manufacturing, particularly once windblown dust events occur. Dust carried on these winds adds substantially to particulate levels. Coal and wood used for winter heating add substantially to particulate levels.

Are air quality levels in Huai’an 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.
