Santiago Tianguistenco's air quality reflects the flat Estado de México Lerma River valley at 2,690 metres adjacent to the Toluca Basin, with vehicle traffic on surrounding roads and the textile, manufacturing, and agricultural character contributing local sources. The Toluca Valley's topographic enclosure creates concentration under inversions, while the elevated altitude worsens ozone formation and the area generally maintains moderate to elevated Mexican highland valley readings throughout most of the year.

When is air pollution at its worst in Santiago Tianguistenco?

Pollution in Santiago Tianguistenco typically rises when vehicle traffic, light manufacturing, together with agricultural activity combine, especially once the surrounding valley traps air close to the ground. The surrounding valley terrain holds pollutants near the surface rather than letting them disperse. Photochemical reactions in the heat push ozone levels higher.

Are air quality levels in Santiago Tianguistenco 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.
