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. |
