Ningde's air quality benefits from its exceptional Fujian coastal position on the East China Sea, with consistent Taiwan Strait and East China Sea breezes providing reliable maritime ventilation. Vehicle traffic on surrounding expressways and the new energy vehicle battery manufacturing — Ningde being home to CATL, the world's largest EV battery maker — and fishing corridor contribute local sources, while the coastal maritime exposure generally maintains Ningde among Fujian's cleaner coastal cities throughout most of the year.

When is air pollution at its worst in Ningde?

Air quality in Ningde tends to be worse when traffic emissions, manufacturing activity, as well as harbour and shipping traffic build up and maritime winds die down. Sea breezes typically keep conditions in check, except during still weather. This coastal advantage is less pronounced during still, high-pressure weather.

Are air quality levels in Ningde 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.
