Cuautitlán Izcalli's air quality reflects Mexico City's northwestern metropolitan industrial corridor at 2,270 metres in the Valley of Mexico, with vehicle traffic on surrounding roads and the manufacturing, pharmaceutical, and dense urban corridor generating elevated PM2.5 under the valley's persistent inversions. The enclosed Valley of Mexico's topographic trapping compounds all emissions extensively, while the industrial manufacturing character maintains Cuautitlán Izcalli among Mexico City metropolitan area's more persistently industrial northwestern urban environments throughout the year.

When is air pollution at its worst in Cuautitlán Izcalli?
Pollution in Cuautitlán Izcalli typically rises when vehicle traffic as well as textile and manufacturing operations combine, especially once calm, stagnant conditions settle in the surrounding valley. Topographic enclosure in the valley lets pollution accumulate rather than clear out. Dust carried on these winds adds substantially to particulate levels.
Are air quality levels in Cuautitlán Izcalli 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.
