Korla's air quality reflects the Xinjiang Tarim Basin's Kongque River oasis position at 932 metres surrounded by the Tian Shan and Kuruk Tag ranges, with vehicle traffic and the petroleum extraction, agricultural, and government corridor generating elevated industrial emissions. Windblown Taklamakan Desert dust generates severe PM10, while the oasis position's arid continental climate creates concentration under calm conditions throughout most of the year.

When is air pollution at its worst in Korla?
Pollution in Korla typically rises when traffic on the surrounding roads along with farming and agricultural processing combine, especially once windblown dust events occur. Dust carried on these winds adds substantially to particulate levels. Such events are most common in the drier shoulder seasons.
Are air quality levels in Korla 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.
