Takamatsu's air quality benefits from its exceptional Seto Inland Sea coastal position in Kagawa Prefecture, with consistent Seto Inland Sea maritime breezes providing reliable ventilation. Vehicle traffic on surrounding roads and the services, food processing, and tourism corridor contribute local sources, while the outstanding Seto Inland Sea coastal exposure and the Shikoku Mountains rising inland create topographic variation and Takamatsu generally maintains good to moderate conditions for a major Japanese Seto Inland Sea coastal city throughout most of the year.

When is air pollution at its worst in Takamatsu?

Pollution in Takamatsu typically rises when traffic emissions, manufacturing and food processing, and seasonal tourism traffic combine, especially once onshore breezes fall calm. Onshore breezes usually help clear the air, but pollution can build up when winds are light. This natural ventilation is one reason coastal areas often see better readings than inland cities.

Are air quality levels in Takamatsu 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.
