Sahuayo de Morelos's air quality reflects the flat Michoacán Los Altos de Jalisco plateau at 1,529 metres adjacent to Lake Chapala, with vehicle traffic on surrounding roads and the shoe leather manufacturing, clothing, and agricultural corridor contributing elevated chemical PM2.5 and VOCs from the leather tanning operations. The elevated plateau position aids dispersal on most days, while the leather industry's distinctive chemical emissions represent Sahuayo's most locally unique air quality contribution throughout most of the year.
