León de los Aldama's air quality reflects the flat Guanajuato Bajío plateau at 1,884 metres, with vehicle traffic on surrounding expressways and the shoe leather manufacturing — León being the world's shoe capital — tanning, and automotive corridor generating elevated chemical PM2.5 and VOCs from leather tanning. The elevated plateau position aids dispersal on most days, while winter inversions and the tanning industry's distinctive chemical emissions represent León's most locally unique air quality signature throughout most of the year.

When is air pollution at its worst in León de los Aldama?

The biggest local contributors to pollution in León de los Aldama are traffic emissions, petrochemical and refining operations, as well as light manufacturing, particularly once windblown dust events occur. Strong seasonal winds can lift dust from the surrounding dry terrain and push particulate levels sharply higher. This is most noticeable during spring and autumn wind events.

Are air quality levels in León de los Aldama 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.
