Iguala de la Independencia's air quality reflects the Guerrero Balsas River valley's enclosed basin at 733 metres surrounded by the Sierra Madre del Sur, with vehicle traffic on surrounding roads and the government, services, and agricultural corridor contributing local sources. The valley's topographic enclosure creates concentration under winter inversions, while the surrounding mountain ranges create significant topographic enclosure and Iguala generally maintains moderate to elevated Mexican southern highland valley readings throughout most of the year.

When is air pollution at its worst in Iguala de la Independencia?

Are air quality levels in Iguala de la Independencia 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.
