Tongjin in Gyeonggi reflects the flat South Korean western coastal plain position near Hwaseong, with vehicle traffic on surrounding expressways and the semiconductor, automotive, and logistics corridor contributing local sources. Yellow Sea breezes provide coastal ventilation, while seasonal Chinese dust transport elevates PM10 during spring yellow dust episodes and the broader Seoul metropolitan regional background influences readings throughout the year.

When is air pollution at its worst in Tongjin?

Tongjin usually sees its poorest air quality when road traffic together with shipbuilding and port operations coincide with periods when dry spells bring strong winds. These wind events can carry dust in from the surrounding arid landscape. Maritime airflow normally ventilates the area well, though calmer spells let levels rise.

Are air quality levels in Tongjin 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.
