Qincheng's air quality reflects the Gansu Tianshui Wei River valley's partial enclosure, with vehicle traffic on surrounding roads and surrounding manufacturing and agricultural corridor contributing local sources. The Wei River valley's partial enclosure creates concentration under winter inversions, while the Loess Plateau terrain and the regional Gansu industrial background generally maintain moderate northwestern China plateau readings throughout the year.

When is air pollution at its worst in Qincheng?
Pollution in Qincheng typically rises when vehicle traffic, manufacturing activity, and agricultural activity combine, especially once temperature inversions set in over the valley. The bowl-like terrain here limits how quickly pollutants can escape. Dust carried on these winds adds substantially to particulate levels.
Are air quality levels in Qincheng 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.
