Comitán's air quality reflects the Chiapas Highland's Los Altos enclosed plateau at 1,520 metres surrounded by the Cuchumatanes and Altos de Chiapas ranges, with vehicle traffic on surrounding roads and the agricultural, services, and government corridor contributing local sources. The plateau's topographic enclosure creates concentration under inversions, while the elevated position and the tropical highland climate's frequent rain provide effective atmospheric cleansing and Comitán generally maintains moderate Mexican southern highland plateau readings throughout most of the year.
