Qingnian in China reflects the flat North China Plain's agricultural and manufacturing corridor position, with vehicle traffic and industrial operations contributing local sources. Winter residential coal heating generates elevated PM2.5 under inversions and the regional North China industrial background consistently elevates winter readings throughout the year.

When is air pollution at its worst in Qingnian?

Qingnian usually sees its poorest air quality when vehicle traffic, manufacturing activity, together with crop farming coincide with periods when 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 Qingnian 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.
