Tongling's air quality reflects the Anhui Yangtze River valley's copper mining position, with vehicle traffic on surrounding expressways and the Tongling Nonferrous Metals copper smelting operations generating elevated heavy metal PM2.5 and SO₂. The Yangtze River provides limited waterway ventilation, while winter anticyclonic inversions concentrate copper smelting and heating emissions and the copper smelting operations' distinctive heavy metal particulate represents Tongling's most industrially unique air quality contribution throughout the year.

When is air pollution at its worst in Tongling?
Air quality in Tongling tends to be worse when road traffic and mining operations build up and the surrounding valley traps air close to the ground. Topographic enclosure in the valley lets pollution accumulate rather than clear out. Dust carried on these winds adds substantially to particulate levels.
Are air quality levels in Tongling 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.
