Zhufeng in Shandong reflects the flat Shandong agricultural and industrial corridor, with vehicle traffic on surrounding roads and manufacturing and processing operations contributing local sources. Winter residential coal heating generates elevated PM2.5 under frequent inversions, while the flat terrain allows reasonable summer dispersal and the North China Plain's regional industrial background elevates winter readings throughout the year.

When is air pollution at its worst in Zhufeng?

The biggest local contributors to pollution in Zhufeng are traffic emissions, textile and manufacturing operations, along with crop farming, particularly once dry, windy weather picks up. Dust carried on these winds adds substantially to particulate levels. Coal and wood used for winter heating add substantially to particulate levels.

Are air quality levels in Zhufeng 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.
