San Luis Río Colorado's air quality reflects the flat Sonora-Arizona Colorado River delta desert border position adjacent to Yuma Arizona, with vehicle traffic on surrounding roads and the agricultural, maquiladora, and border crossing corridor contributing local sources. Windblown Sonoran and Yuma Desert dust contributes elevated PM10, while the flat desert terrain allows reasonable dispersal on most days and San Luis generally maintains moderate to good northwestern Mexican Sonoran Desert border city readings throughout most of the year.
