Puyang's air quality reflects the flat North China Plain's northern Henan oil production position, with vehicle traffic on surrounding expressways and the petrochemical, chemical, and oil extraction corridor generating elevated industrial SO₂ and VOCs. Winter residential coal and industrial heating generates elevated PM2.5 under frequent inversions, while the flat terrain allows reasonable summer dispersal and the oil production complex's distinctive petrochemical emissions represent Puyang's most locally unique industrial air quality source throughout the year.

When is air pollution at its worst in Puyang?
Puyang usually sees its poorest air quality when traffic on the surrounding roads and heavy industrial and chemical processing coincide with periods when dry spells bring strong winds. These wind events can carry dust in from the surrounding arid landscape. Coal and wood used for winter heating add substantially to particulate levels.
Are air quality levels in Puyang 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.
