Cuauhtémoc in Chihuahua reflects the flat Chihuahuan Desert plateau's Mennonite agricultural corridor at 2,018 metres, with vehicle traffic on surrounding roads and the apple farming — Cuauhtémoc being Mexico's apple capital — cheese production, and agricultural corridor contributing distinctive organic aerosols alongside primary vehicle sources. The elevated plateau position aids dispersal, while the Mennonite agricultural character creates a uniquely distinctive local food production emission profile throughout most of the year.
