Zunhua's air quality reflects the flat Hebei North China Plain's Luanhe River valley position adjacent to the Qian Ling Mountains, with vehicle traffic and the steel, agricultural, and manufacturing corridor contributing elevated industrial PM2.5. The Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei regional background and winter anticyclonic inversions elevate readings and Zunhua generally maintains moderate to elevated Hebei northeastern corridor readings throughout the year.

When is air pollution at its worst in Zunhua?
The biggest local contributors to pollution in Zunhua are traffic on the surrounding roads, steel, cement, and chemical production, as well as manufacturing and food processing, particularly once calm, stagnant conditions settle in the surrounding valley. The bowl-like terrain here limits how quickly pollutants can escape. Strong seasonal winds can lift dust from the surrounding dry terrain and push particulate levels sharply higher.
Are air quality levels in Zunhua 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.
