Yongzhou's air quality reflects the Hunan southern Xiao River valley's partial enclosure between the Nanling and Qianshan mountain ranges, with vehicle traffic on surrounding expressways and the agricultural, tobacco, and manufacturing corridor contributing local sources. The surrounding mountain ranges create topographic variation, while winter coal heating under valley inversions generates elevated PM2.5 and the regional southern China agricultural burning contributes seasonal variation throughout the year.

When is air pollution at its worst in Yongzhou?
Air quality in Yongzhou tends to be worse when road traffic, manufacturing activity, and agricultural activity build up and temperature inversions set in over the valley. The bowl-like terrain here limits how quickly pollutants can escape. Residential heating through the colder months is a major seasonal source of particulates.
Are air quality levels in Yongzhou 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.
