Chicoloapan's air quality reflects Mexico City's eastern metropolitan corridor in the Valley of Mexico at 2,280 metres, with vehicle traffic on surrounding roads and the dense residential and light industrial character generating elevated PM2.5 under the valley's persistent inversions. The enclosed Valley of Mexico's topographic trapping compounds emissions extensively, while Chicoloapan shares the broader Mexico City eastern metropolitan air quality challenges throughout most of the year.

When is air pollution at its worst in Chicoloapan?
Air quality in Chicoloapan tends to be worse when vehicle traffic and calm, stagnant conditions settle in the surrounding valley. The surrounding valley terrain holds pollutants near the surface rather than letting them disperse. Strong seasonal winds can lift dust from the surrounding dry terrain and push particulate levels sharply higher.
Are air quality levels in Chicoloapan 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.
