Cuautitlán's air quality reflects Mexico City's northwestern metropolitan industrial corridor at 2,262 metres in the Valley of Mexico, with vehicle traffic on surrounding roads and the manufacturing, automotive, and dense industrial 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 among Mexico City metropolitan area's more persistently industrial northwestern urban environments throughout the year.

When is air pollution at its worst in Cuautitlán?

Pollution in Cuautitlán typically rises when vehicle traffic along with textile and manufacturing operations combine, especially once temperature inversions set in over the valley. The surrounding valley terrain holds pollutants near the surface rather than letting them disperse. These wind events can carry dust in from the surrounding arid landscape.

Are air quality levels in Cuautitlán 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.
