Shuozhou's air quality reflects the Shanxi northern Sanggan River valley's coal mining position, with vehicle traffic on surrounding expressways and the coal mining and power generation operations generating elevated coal dust PM10 and SO₂. Winter residential and industrial coal heating extensively compounds mining background under valley inversions, while the valley topography creates concentration and Shuozhou maintains among Shanxi's more distinctively coal mining-defined northern urban air quality environments throughout the year.

On 17 July 2026, air quality conditions in Shuozhou will be worse than today, with AQI forecast at poor at 60.2/100. Pollution peaks around 3:00 PM (O3: 60.2/100).

When is air pollution at its worst in Shuozhou?

Shuozhou usually sees its poorest air quality when traffic emissions along with mining operations coincide with periods when calm, stagnant conditions settle in the surrounding valley. The bowl-like terrain here limits how quickly pollutants can escape. These wind events can carry dust in from the surrounding arid landscape.

Are air quality levels in Shuozhou 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.
