San Martin Texmelucan de Labastida's air quality reflects the flat Puebla-Tlaxcala plateau at 2,270 metres adjacent to the Texmelucan PEMEX petrochemical complex, with vehicle traffic on surrounding roads and the petrochemical industrial operations and agricultural corridor contributing elevated industrial and vehicle emissions. The plateau's topographic enclosure creates concentration under inversions, while the PEMEX petrochemical complex's distinctive industrial emissions represent the most locally unique air quality source and the elevated altitude worsens ozone formation throughout most of the year.

When is air pollution at its worst in San Martin Texmelucan de Labastida?

San Martin Texmelucan de Labastida usually sees its poorest air quality when road traffic, petrochemical and refining operations, along with farming and agricultural processing coincide with periods when dry, windy weather picks up. These wind events can carry dust in from the surrounding arid landscape. Photochemical reactions in the heat push ozone levels higher.

Are air quality levels in San Martin Texmelucan de Labastida 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.
