Putian's air quality benefits from its Fujian coastal plain position on Meizhou Bay, with consistent Taiwan Strait and East China Sea breezes providing reliable maritime ventilation. Vehicle traffic on surrounding expressways and the footwear, medical devices, and manufacturing corridor contribute local sources, while the coastal maritime exposure generally maintains Putian among Fujian's more moderately ventilated coastal cities throughout most of the year.

When is air pollution at its worst in Putian?
The biggest local contributors to pollution in Putian are vehicle traffic together with textile and manufacturing operations, particularly once the sea breeze weakens. Maritime airflow normally ventilates the area well, though calmer spells let levels rise. This coastal advantage is less pronounced during still, high-pressure weather.
Are air quality levels in Putian 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.
