Katori's air quality reflects the flat Chiba Prefecture Tone River delta position adjacent to the Katori Jingu shrine, with vehicle traffic on surrounding roads and the agricultural, tourism, and services corridor contributing modest local sources. The flat Kanto Plain and the Tone River delta provide reasonable dispersal, while summer photochemical ozone from the broader Kanto corridor is the primary warm-season concern and Katori generally maintains moderate to good Japanese Chiba historical city readings throughout most of the year.

When is air pollution at its worst in Katori?
The biggest local contributors to pollution in Katori are traffic emissions, steel, cement, and chemical production, together with farming and agricultural processing, particularly once warm, sunny weather takes hold. Photochemical reactions in the heat push ozone levels higher. This is far less of an issue outside the warmer months.
Are air quality levels in Katori 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.
