Ocotlán's air quality reflects the flat Jalisco Los Altos plateau's Lerma River position at 1,534 metres, with vehicle traffic on surrounding roads and the furniture manufacturing, textile, and services corridor contributing local sources. The elevated plateau position aids dispersal on most days, while winter inversions create modest seasonal challenges and the furniture industry's distinctive wood dust and lacquer VOC emissions represent Ocotlán's most locally unique air quality contribution throughout most of the year.

When is air pollution at its worst in Ocotlán?
Pollution in Ocotlán typically rises when traffic on the surrounding roads together with manufacturing activity combine, especially once dry spells bring strong winds. 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 Ocotlán 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.
