Sanyō-Onoda's air quality reflects the Yamaguchi Prefecture Seto Inland Sea coastal position adjacent to the Toagosei chemical and cement operations, with vehicle traffic on surrounding roads and the chemical, cement, and manufacturing corridor generating elevated industrial PM2.5. Consistent Seto Inland Sea maritime breezes provide coastal ventilation, while the chemical and cement operations' distinctive industrial scale represents the most locally notable air quality contribution throughout most of the year.

When is air pollution at its worst in Sanyō-Onoda?

Sanyō-Onoda usually sees its poorest air quality when vehicle traffic, heavy industry such as steel, cement, or petrochemical processing, and textile and manufacturing operations coincide with periods when dry, windy weather picks up. These wind events can carry dust in from the surrounding arid landscape. Onshore breezes usually help clear the air, but pollution can build up when winds are light.

Are air quality levels in Sanyō-Onoda 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.
