Pingxiang in Jiangxi reflects the Jiangxi western Liao River valley's partial enclosure between the Luoxiao Mountains at the Hunan border, with vehicle traffic on surrounding expressways and the coal mining, coking, and firecracker — Pingxiang being China's fireworks capital — manufacturing corridor contributing elevated PM2.5 and distinctive chemical aerosols. The fireworks industry's distinctive chemical and metallic aerosol emissions represent Pingxiang's most locally unique air quality characteristic, while winter coal heating under valley inversions compounds industrial emissions throughout the year.

When is air pollution at its worst in Pingxiang?
In Pingxiang, traffic on the surrounding roads, petrochemical and refining operations, along with mining and quarrying operations are the main local sources, with conditions worsening when calm, stagnant conditions settle in the surrounding valley. The bowl-like terrain here limits how quickly pollutants can escape. These wind events can carry dust in from the surrounding arid landscape.
Are air quality levels in Pingxiang 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.
Why doesn’t the forecast always reflect wildfire impacts?
Airmine’s forecast uses CAMS (Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service) as its background atmospheric model. While CAMS includes wildfire emissions, these are derived from satellite observations and are not available in real time. During rapidly evolving wildfire events, there may therefore be a delay before increased emissions are incorporated into the model. As a result, the forecast may temporarily underestimate PM₂.₅ and other pollutants associated with wildfire smoke.
During rapidly evolving wildfire events, CAMS may lag by approximately 1–2 days before increased wildfire emissions are fully represented, which can lead to temporary underestimation of PM₂.₅ concentrations in Airmine’s forecast.
