Krasnoyarsk's air quality reflects the Yenisei River valley's partial enclosure between the Eastern Sayan and Krasnoyarsk heights at 260 metres, with vehicle traffic on surrounding roads and the aluminium smelting — Krasnoyarsk hosting the world's third largest aluminium plant — and manufacturing corridor generating elevated industrial fluoride PM2.5. Winter anticyclonic inversions create severe trapping in the valley, while the aluminium complex's distinctive fluoride emissions make Krasnoyarsk Russia's most distinctively aluminium industry-defined urban air quality environment.

When is air pollution at its worst in Krasnoyarsk?
The biggest local contributors to pollution in Krasnoyarsk are traffic on the surrounding roads as well as textile and manufacturing operations, particularly once calm, stagnant conditions settle in the surrounding valley. Topographic enclosure in the valley lets pollution accumulate rather than clear out. Dust carried on these winds adds substantially to particulate levels.
Are air quality levels in Krasnoyarsk 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.
