Zijinglu in China reflects the flat North China Plain's urban corridor position, with vehicle traffic and manufacturing contributing local sources. Winter residential coal heating generates elevated PM2.5 under inversions and the regional industrial background elevates winter readings throughout the year.

When is air pollution at its worst in Zijinglu?

Zijinglu usually sees its poorest air quality when traffic emissions and textile and manufacturing operations coincide with periods when windblown dust events occur. Strong seasonal winds can lift dust from the surrounding dry terrain and push particulate levels sharply higher. Coal and wood used for winter heating add substantially to particulate levels.

Are air quality levels in Zijinglu 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.
