Yangzhou's air quality reflects the flat Yangtze delta plain's Jiangsu position at the Huai River ancient Grand Canal junction, with vehicle traffic on surrounding expressways and the automotive parts, chemical, and manufacturing corridor contributing local sources. The Yangtze River provides limited waterway ventilation, while winter anticyclonic inversions concentrate industrial and heating emissions and Yangzhou generally maintains moderate Jiangsu Yangtze corridor provincial readings throughout most of the year.

When is air pollution at its worst in Yangzhou?
Yangzhou usually sees its poorest air quality when traffic on the surrounding roads, steel, cement, and chemical production, and textile and manufacturing operations coincide with periods when dry spells bring strong winds. Strong seasonal winds can lift dust from the surrounding dry terrain and push particulate levels sharply higher. Coal and wood used for winter heating add substantially to particulate levels.
Are air quality levels in Yangzhou 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.
