Nanjing

 

8,300,000 inhabitants
surface area: 6,600 km2


Capital of Jiangsu Province & second largest city in East China.

Climate: Very hot and muggy summers, cold and damp winters


 

Which pressures?

Air Quality  

 

Why?

Environmental pressures targeted by SMURBS


 Air Quality: Similar to other Chinese cities, the sources of air pollution in Nanjing are very complex, including various local primary pollutant emissions (traffic, industry, domestic combustion, and power production) and long-range transport from other regions.

 

How?

The implementation of smart urban solutions


 Air Quality: To address air quality (AQ) pressures in Nanjing, SMURBS has developed an approach including comprehensive AQ measurements, modeling, and providing relevant AQ indicators. A hierarchal AQ observation system has been set up, including a supersite as well as mid-cost sensors, which is managed with the fusion model FMI-ENFUSER. The model then gives out pollutant concentrations and an air quality index for the current day, from midnight to midnight.
