Huamantla's air quality reflects the flat Tlaxcala-Puebla plateau at 2,488 metres adjacent to the La Malinche volcano, with vehicle traffic on surrounding roads and the textile, agricultural, and bullfighting festival character contributing local sources. The La Malinche volcanic backdrop creates topographic variation, while the elevated plateau position aids dispersal and Huamantla generally maintains moderate to good Mexican eastern highland plateau readings throughout most of the year.

When is air pollution at its worst in Huamantla?

Huamantla usually sees its poorest air quality when vehicle traffic, manufacturing and food processing, along with agricultural burning coincide with periods when weather conditions turn unfavourable. Local weather patterns add further variation on top of these sources. Conditions can otherwise vary considerably with the weather.

Are air quality levels in Huamantla 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.

Why doesn’t the forecast always reflect wildfire impacts?

Airmine’s forecast uses CAMS (Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service) as its background atmospheric model. While CAMS includes wildfire emissions, these are derived from satellite observations and are not available in real time. During rapidly evolving wildfire events, there may therefore be a delay before increased emissions are incorporated into the model. As a result, the forecast may temporarily underestimate PM₂.₅ and other pollutants associated with wildfire smoke.

During rapidly evolving wildfire events, CAMS may lag by approximately 1–2 days before increased wildfire emissions are fully represented, which can lead to temporary underestimation of PM₂.₅ concentrations in Airmine’s forecast.
