Yingchuan in Henan reflects the flat North China Plain's Henan agricultural corridor, with vehicle traffic on surrounding roads and agricultural processing and manufacturing contributing local sources. Winter residential coal and biomass burning generates elevated PM2.5 under inversions, while the flat North China terrain allows reasonable summer dispersal and the regional industrial background elevates winter readings throughout the year.

When is air pollution at its worst in Yingchuan?
Air quality in Yingchuan tends to be worse when traffic on the surrounding roads, manufacturing and food processing, and farming and agricultural processing build up and windblown dust events occur. These wind events can carry dust in from the surrounding arid landscape. Fuel burned for winter heating adds an extra layer of particulates on top of other sources.
Are air quality levels in Yingchuan 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.
