Tepexpan's air quality reflects Mexico City's northeastern metropolitan corridor at 2,250 metres adjacent to the famous Texcoco Lake palaeontological site where the Tepexpan Man was discovered, with vehicle traffic on surrounding roads and the industrial and residential corridor generating elevated PM2.5 under the valley's persistent inversions. The Valley of Mexico's near-complete topographic trapping compounds all emissions, while the desiccated lake bed's windblown dust contributes distinctive saline aerosols throughout most of the year.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is air quality bad in Tepexpan right now?
On 9 August 2026, overall air quality in Tepexpan is poor. AQI is the main air quality indicator at 77.3/100. Pollution peaks around 6:00 PM (PM10: 77.3/100).
Will air quality be worse tomorrow in Tepexpan?

When is air pollution at its worst in Tepexpan?
Air quality in Tepexpan tends to be worse when road traffic and the surrounding valley traps air close to the ground. The bowl-like terrain here limits how quickly pollutants can escape. These wind events can carry dust in from the surrounding arid landscape.
Are air quality levels in Tepexpan 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.
