Santa María Texmelucan's air quality reflects the flat Puebla-Tlaxcala plateau at 2,260 metres adjacent to the San Martín Texmelucan petrochemical corridor, with vehicle traffic on surrounding roads and the PEMEX-related industrial operations and agricultural corridor contributing elevated industrial and vehicle emissions. The plateau's topographic enclosure creates concentration under inversions, while the elevated altitude worsens ozone formation and the petrochemical corridor's background maintains moderate to elevated Puebla plateau industrial readings.

Frequently Asked Questions

When is air pollution at its worst in Santa María Texmelucan?
The biggest local contributors to pollution in Santa María Texmelucan are traffic on the surrounding roads, steel, cement, and chemical production, together with agricultural burning, particularly once 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 Santa María Texmelucan 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.
Why doesn’t the forecast always reflect wildfire impacts?
Airmine’s forecast uses CAMS (Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service) as its background atmospheric model. While CAMS includes wildfire emissions, these are derived from satellite observations and are not available in real time. During rapidly evolving wildfire events, there may therefore be a delay before increased emissions are incorporated into the model. As a result, the forecast may temporarily underestimate PM₂.₅ and other pollutants associated with wildfire smoke.
During rapidly evolving wildfire events, CAMS may lag by approximately 1–2 days before increased wildfire emissions are fully represented, which can lead to temporary underestimation of PM₂.₅ concentrations in Airmine’s forecast.
