Yulinshi in Shaanxi reflects the Shaanxi northern Loess Plateau's Wuding River valley position, with vehicle traffic on surrounding expressways and the coal mining, natural gas — Yulin hosting China's largest natural gas field — and chemical corridor generating elevated industrial SO₂ and PM2.5. The loess plateau's windblown dust contributes elevated PM10, while the natural gas and coal industrial scale makes Yulin Shaanxi's most distinctively energy extraction-defined air quality environment throughout the year.

When is air pollution at its worst in Yulinshi?

The biggest local contributors to pollution in Yulinshi are road traffic, petrochemical and refining operations, as well as mining and quarrying operations, particularly once dry spells bring strong winds. These wind events can carry dust in from the surrounding arid landscape. Residential heating through the colder months is a major seasonal source of particulates.

Are air quality levels in Yulinshi 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.
