Francisco I. Madero's air quality reflects the flat Coahuila La Laguna cotton and dairy corridor position adjacent to Torreón, with vehicle traffic on surrounding roads and the cotton, dairy, and agricultural character contributing local sources. The flat Chihuahuan Desert basin allows reasonable dispersal on most days, while winter inversions create modest seasonal challenges and Francisco I. Madero generally maintains moderate northern Mexican La Laguna metropolitan agricultural corridor readings throughout most of the year.

When is air pollution at its worst in Francisco I. Madero?

Pollution in Francisco I.

The bowl-like terrain here limits how quickly pollutants can escape. This tends to happen most in winter, when inversions are most common.

Are air quality levels in Francisco I. Madero 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.
