Zhangzhou's air quality benefits from its exceptional Fujian coastal plain's Jiulong River delta position, with consistent Taiwan Strait breezes providing reliable maritime ventilation. Vehicle traffic on surrounding expressways and the food processing, chemical, and manufacturing corridor contribute local sources, while the Taiwan Strait's outstanding coastal exposure generally maintains Zhangzhou among Fujian's more moderately ventilated coastal provincial cities throughout most of the year.

When is air pollution at its worst in Zhangzhou?
Pollution in Zhangzhou typically rises when traffic on the surrounding roads, steel, cement, and chemical production, and light manufacturing combine, especially once onshore breezes fall calm. Onshore breezes usually help clear the air, but pollution can build up when winds are light. Areas further inland without this ventilation tend to fare worse.
Are air quality levels in Zhangzhou 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.
