In Dandong the air is unhealthy for sensitive groups right now (approximate, US EPA scale). From 17:00 to 06:00 local time the city mean PM2.5 fell from 46.3 to 39.0 µg/m³. The highest hour was 22:00 with 56.3 µg/m³.

Cold weather (3°C) possibly means more heating, a common source of particles. High humidity (100%) possibly makes optical sensors read somewhat higher.

Weather now: fog, 3°C, wind 3 m/s, humidity 100%. By 11:00 the wind is expected to pick up to 5 m/s, which may clear the air. By 17:00 the temperature will be about 6°C.
