Jicheon in Gyeongbuk reflects the South Korean Gyeongbuk inland agricultural position, with vehicle traffic on surrounding roads and agricultural operations contributing modest local sources. Seasonal Chinese dust transport elevates PM10 during spring yellow dust episodes, while the surrounding Gyeongbuk hills create topographic variation and the relatively low industrial density generally maintains moderate to good South Korean inland agricultural provincial readings throughout most of the year.

When is air pollution at its worst in Jicheon?
The biggest local contributors to pollution in Jicheon are vehicle traffic, agricultural burning, together with fishing fleet activity, particularly once dry, windy weather picks up. Dust carried on these winds adds substantially to particulate levels. Such events are most common in the drier shoulder seasons.
Are air quality levels in Jicheon 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.
