La Paz in Baja California Sur benefits from its exceptional Gulf of California and Pacific Ocean dual-coastal position, with consistent Gulf of California and Pacific maritime breezes providing reliable ventilation. Vehicle traffic on surrounding roads and the government, tourism, and pearl fishing corridor contribute modest local sources, while the outstanding dual-coast maritime exposure generally maintains La Paz among Mexico's more reliably ventilated major coastal cities throughout most of the year.

When is air pollution at its worst in Sōka?
The biggest local contributors to pollution in Sōka are traffic on the surrounding roads, shipbuilding and port operations, together with tourism-related traffic, particularly once the sea breeze weakens. Onshore breezes usually help clear the air, but pollution can build up when winds are light. Areas further inland without this ventilation tend to fare worse.
Are air quality levels in Sōka 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.
