Linyi's air quality reflects the flat Shandong Yimeng Mountain basin position, with vehicle traffic on surrounding expressways and building materials, logistics, and light manufacturing contributing local sources. Seasonal dust transport from Inner Mongolia elevates PM10 during spring dust episodes, while winter residential coal and industrial heating generates elevated PM2.5 and Linyi generally maintains moderate to elevated North China Plain provincial metropolitan readings throughout the year.

When is air pollution at its worst in Linyi?
In Linyi, traffic emissions, textile and manufacturing operations, along with fishing fleet activity are the main local sources, with conditions worsening when dry spells bring strong winds. Strong seasonal winds can lift dust from the surrounding dry terrain and push particulate levels sharply higher. Coal and wood used for winter heating add substantially to particulate levels.
Are air quality levels in Linyi 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.
