Yongcheng's air quality reflects the flat Henan eastern Suihe River plain's coal mining position, with vehicle traffic on surrounding roads and the coal mining and power generation operations generating elevated coal dust PM10. Winter residential and industrial coal heating compounds mining background under frequent inversions, while the flat terrain allows reasonable summer dispersal and Yongcheng maintains a distinctively coal industry-influenced smaller metropolitan environment throughout the year.
