Huizhou's air quality reflects the Guangdong eastern Pearl River Delta coastal plain position, with vehicle traffic on surrounding expressways and the petrochemical — Huizhou hosting the massive CNOOC-Shell complex — electronics, and manufacturing corridor generating elevated industrial SO₂ and PM2.5. Consistent South China Sea trade winds provide maritime ventilation, while the petrochemical complex's industrial scale represents Huizhou's most distinctive local air quality contribution throughout most of the year.

When is air pollution at its worst in Huizhou?

Huizhou usually sees its poorest air quality when traffic on the surrounding roads, heavy industry such as steel, cement, or petrochemical processing, along with textile and manufacturing operations coincide with periods when dry, windy weather picks up. Dust carried on these winds adds substantially to particulate levels. Onshore breezes usually help clear the air, but pollution can build up when winds are light.

Are air quality levels in Huizhou 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.
