Wuchang in China — noting this refers to the Heilongjiang Province city — reflects the flat Heilongjiang Songhua River plain position, with vehicle traffic on surrounding roads and the agricultural processing and manufacturing contributing local sources. Winter residential coal heating extensively compounds emissions under severe anticyclonic inversions, while summer conditions are considerably better and the area generally maintains moderate to elevated Heilongjiang Province agricultural corridor readings throughout the winter months.

When is air pollution at its worst in Wuchang?
The biggest local contributors to pollution in Wuchang are road traffic, manufacturing activity, and agricultural activity, particularly once temperatures drop in winter. Coal and wood used for winter heating add substantially to particulate levels. This is far less of a factor once the heating season ends.
Are air quality levels in Wuchang 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.
