Xiangxiang's air quality reflects the Hunan central Lian River valley position adjacent to Xiangtan, with vehicle traffic and the manganese processing and manufacturing corridor contributing local sources. The regional Changsha-Xiangtan industrial background and winter valley inversions maintain moderate to elevated central Hunan corridor readings throughout most of the year.

When is air pollution at its worst in Xiangxiang?
Xiangxiang usually sees its poorest air quality when road traffic together with manufacturing activity coincide with periods when the surrounding valley traps air close to the ground. Topographic enclosure in the valley lets pollution accumulate rather than clear out. Strong seasonal winds can lift dust from the surrounding dry terrain and push particulate levels sharply higher.
Are air quality levels in Xiangxiang 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.
