Sodegaura's air quality reflects the Chiba Prefecture Tokyo Bay coastal industrial position adjacent to the Sodegaura LNG terminal and petrochemical complex, with vehicle traffic on surrounding roads and the LNG operations and chemical corridor generating elevated industrial emissions. Tokyo Bay's limited maritime ventilation provides some coastal influence, while the petrochemical industrial scale represents Sodegaura's most distinctive local air quality contribution throughout most of the year.

When is air pollution at its worst in Sodegaura?

Air quality in Sodegaura tends to be worse when traffic emissions and steel, cement, and chemical production build up and dry, windy weather picks up. These wind events can carry dust in from the surrounding arid landscape. Sea breezes typically keep conditions in check, except during still weather.

Are air quality levels in Sodegaura 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.
