Tongshan's air quality reflects the flat Jiangsu Xuzhou metropolitan position, with vehicle traffic on surrounding expressways and the coal mining, steel, and manufacturing corridor generating elevated industrial PM2.5 and SO₂. Winter residential coal heating compounds the industrial background, while the flat terrain allows reasonable dispersal on westerly days and the Xuzhou coalfield's historical industrial character maintains moderate to elevated Jiangsu provincial readings throughout most of the year.

When is air pollution at its worst in Tongshan?

Tongshan usually sees its poorest air quality when road traffic, steel, cement, and chemical production, along with mining and quarrying operations coincide with periods when dry, windy weather picks up. Dust carried on these winds adds substantially to particulate levels. Fuel burned for winter heating adds an extra layer of particulates on top of other sources.

Are air quality levels in Tongshan 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.
