Fuji's air quality reflects the Shizuoka Prefecture Fuji River delta position on Suruga Bay, with vehicle traffic on surrounding roads and the paper and pulp manufacturing — Fuji being Japan's paper capital — and chemical corridor generating elevated industrial PM2.5 and distinctive organic aerosols. Consistent Pacific and Suruga Bay maritime breezes provide coastal ventilation, while the paper manufacturing operations' distinctive organic emission profile represents Fuji's most locally unique industrial air quality characteristic throughout the year.

When is air pollution at its worst in Fuji?
Fuji usually sees its poorest air quality when vehicle traffic, steel, cement, and chemical production, and textile and manufacturing operations coincide with periods when windblown dust events occur. Dust carried on these winds adds substantially to particulate levels. Sea breezes typically keep conditions in check, except during still weather.
Are air quality levels in Fuji 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.
Why doesn’t the forecast always reflect wildfire impacts?
Airmine’s forecast uses CAMS (Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service) as its background atmospheric model. While CAMS includes wildfire emissions, these are derived from satellite observations and are not available in real time. During rapidly evolving wildfire events, there may therefore be a delay before increased emissions are incorporated into the model. As a result, the forecast may temporarily underestimate PM₂.₅ and other pollutants associated with wildfire smoke.
During rapidly evolving wildfire events, CAMS may lag by approximately 1–2 days before increased wildfire emissions are fully represented, which can lead to temporary underestimation of PM₂.₅ concentrations in Airmine’s forecast.
