Zaoyang's air quality reflects the flat Hubei Tangbai River plain position adjacent to the Han River, with winter coal heating and agricultural processing generating elevated PM2.5 under frequent inversions. The broader Wuhan metropolitan regional background influences the corridor and Zaoyang generally maintains moderate Hubei northern corridor readings throughout most of the year.

When is air pollution at its worst in Zaoyang?
Zaoyang usually sees its poorest air quality when farming and agricultural processing coincides with periods when temperatures drop in winter. Fuel burned for winter heating adds an extra layer of particulates on top of other sources. This effect eases considerably during the warmer months.
Are air quality levels in Zaoyang 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.
