Juárez's air quality reflects the Chihuahuan Desert basin position adjacent to El Paso Texas, with vehicle traffic on surrounding expressways and the maquiladora manufacturing, international border crossing, and construction corridor generating elevated PM2.5 and NOₓ. Windblown Chihuahuan Desert dust generates elevated PM10 during dust storm events, while the extraordinary Paso del Norte bridge crossing vehicle concentration and the flat desert basin's limited dispersal under calm conditions maintain Juárez among northern Mexico's more persistently border crossing-influenced urban environments throughout the year.

When is air pollution at its worst in Juárez?
Juárez usually sees its poorest air quality when vehicle traffic, textile and manufacturing operations, as well as construction activity coincide with periods when windblown dust events occur. Dust carried on these winds adds substantially to particulate levels. These episodes tend to cluster in spring and autumn.
Are air quality levels in Juárez 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.
