Tokoname's air quality reflects the Aichi Prefecture Chita Peninsula Ise Bay coastal position adjacent to Nagoya's Chubu Centrair International Airport, with vehicle traffic on surrounding roads and the airport aviation operations and Tokoname pottery — one of Japan's six ancient kiln traditions — generating elevated NOₓ and distinctive kiln ceramic dust. Consistent Ise Bay maritime breezes provide coastal ventilation, while the aviation and ceramic kilns represent Tokoname's most distinctive dual local emission sources throughout most of the year.

When is air pollution at its worst in Tokoname?

Pollution in Tokoname typically rises when vehicle traffic, aircraft operations at the local air base, as well as textile and manufacturing operations combine, especially once windblown dust events occur. Dust carried on these winds adds substantially to particulate levels. Sea breezes typically keep conditions in check, except during still weather.

Are air quality levels in Tokoname 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.
