Mineral de la Reforma's air quality reflects the Hidalgo plateau's Pachuca metropolitan eastern corridor at 2,100 metres, with vehicle traffic on surrounding roads and the manufacturing, industrial, and residential character contributing local sources. The valley's topographic enclosure creates concentration under inversions, while the elevated altitude worsens ozone formation and Mineral de la Reforma shares the broader Pachuca metropolitan air quality challenges throughout most of the year.

When is air pollution at its worst in Mineral de la Reforma?
Air quality in Mineral de la Reforma tends to be worse when vehicle traffic as well as textile and manufacturing operations build up and temperature inversions set in over the valley. Topographic enclosure in the valley lets pollution accumulate rather than clear out. Strong seasonal winds can lift dust from the surrounding dry terrain and push particulate levels sharply higher.
Are air quality levels in Mineral de la Reforma 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.
