Kaga's air quality benefits from its exceptional Ishikawa Prefecture Kakudaike Lagoon and Sea of Japan coastal position, with consistent Sea of Japan maritime breezes providing reliable ventilation. Vehicle traffic on surrounding roads and the traditional Kutani porcelain, hot springs, and manufacturing corridor contribute distinctive ceramic kiln dust alongside primary vehicle sources, while the outstanding coastal exposure and the Kutani operations' distinctive kiln emissions represent Kaga's most culturally unique air quality characteristic throughout most of the year.

When is air pollution at its worst in Kaga?
Pollution in Kaga typically rises when road traffic as well as manufacturing activity combine, especially once windblown dust events occur. Strong seasonal winds can lift dust from the surrounding dry terrain and push particulate levels sharply higher. Sea breezes typically keep conditions in check, except during still weather.
Are air quality levels in Kaga 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.
