Fukuyama's air quality reflects the Seto Inland Sea coastal position in Hiroshima Prefecture adjacent to the Fukuyama JFE Steel complex, with vehicle traffic on surrounding expressways and the steel, machinery, and port corridor generating elevated industrial PM2.5. The Seto Inland Sea provides maritime ventilation, while the steel complex's industrial scale represents Fukuyama's most distinctive local industrial air quality contribution throughout most of the year.

When is air pollution at its worst in Fukuyama?
The biggest local contributors to pollution in Fukuyama are traffic emissions, heavy industrial and chemical processing, and port and shipping activity, particularly once windblown dust events occur. Strong seasonal winds can lift dust from the surrounding dry terrain and push particulate levels sharply higher. Maritime airflow normally ventilates the area well, though calmer spells let levels rise.
Are air quality levels in Fukuyama 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.
