Qinbaling's air quality reflects the Gansu Jing River valley's Loess Plateau semi-arid position, with vehicle traffic on surrounding roads and the agricultural and coal mining corridor contributing local sources. Windblown loess plateau dust generates elevated PM10 during dry windy periods, while the relatively low industrial density generally maintains moderate northwestern China Loess Plateau readings throughout most of the year.

When is air pollution at its worst in Qinbaling?
Pollution in Qinbaling typically rises when traffic on the surrounding roads, mining and quarrying operations, along with crop farming combine, especially once windblown dust events occur. Dust carried on these winds adds substantially to particulate levels. Coal and wood used for winter heating add substantially to particulate levels.
Are air quality levels in Qinbaling 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.
