Meishan in China — noting this location appears twice in the database — reflects the Sichuan Basin's Minjiang River valley south of Chengdu, with vehicle traffic on surrounding roads and the pharmaceutical, paper, and agricultural corridor contributing local sources. The Sichuan Basin's topographic enclosure creates concentration under winter inversions, while the broader Chengdu metropolitan industrial background influences the corridor and the area generally maintains moderate Sichuan Basin provincial readings throughout most of the year.

When is air pollution at its worst in Meishan?
Pollution in Meishan typically rises when road traffic along with agricultural activity combine, especially once calm, stagnant conditions settle in the surrounding valley. Topographic enclosure in the valley lets pollution accumulate rather than clear out. Strong seasonal winds can lift dust from the surrounding dry terrain and push particulate levels sharply higher.
Are air quality levels in Meishan 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.
