Nuevo Casas Grandes's air quality reflects the flat Chihuahuan Desert Casas Grandes River valley at 1,469 metres near the famous Paquimé archaeological site, with vehicle traffic on surrounding roads and the agricultural, pottery, and services corridor contributing modest local sources. Windblown Chihuahuan Desert dust contributes elevated PM10, while the flat semi-arid terrain allows reasonable dispersal and Nuevo Casas Grandes generally maintains moderate to good northern Mexican Chihuahuan Desert valley readings throughout most of the year.
