Takizawa's air quality reflects the Iwate Prefecture Kitakami River valley western plateau position at 260 metres adjacent to Morioka, with vehicle traffic on surrounding roads and the manufacturing, residential, and services corridor contributing local sources. The Kitakami highlands provide topographic variation, while Pacific coastal breezes provide background ventilation and Takizawa generally maintains moderate to good conditions for a major Japanese Iwate metropolitan suburban city throughout most of the year.

When is air pollution at its worst in Takizawa?

Takizawa usually sees its poorest air quality when vehicle traffic and manufacturing activity coincide with periods when onshore breezes fall calm. Onshore breezes usually help clear the air, but pollution can build up when winds are light. Areas further inland without this ventilation tend to fare worse.

Are air quality levels in Takizawa 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.
