Irapuato's air quality reflects the flat Guanajuato Bajío plateau at 1,724 metres, with vehicle traffic on surrounding roads and the strawberry farming, automotive parts, and manufacturing corridor contributing local sources. The elevated plateau position aids dispersal on most days, while winter inversions create modest seasonal challenges and Irapuato generally maintains moderate Mexican central plateau agricultural and industrial corridor readings throughout most of the year.

When is air pollution at its worst in Irapuato?

Air quality in Irapuato tends to be worse when vehicle traffic, textile and manufacturing operations, as well as agricultural activity build up and windblown dust events occur. Strong seasonal winds can lift dust from the surrounding dry terrain and push particulate levels sharply higher. These episodes tend to cluster in spring and autumn.

Are air quality levels in Irapuato 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.
