Tulancingo's air quality reflects the Hidalgo Sierra Madre Oriental's Tulancingo valley at 2,180 metres, with vehicle traffic on surrounding roads and the textile, food processing, and services corridor contributing local sources. The surrounding mountain ranges create topographic enclosure, while winter inversions in the enclosed highland valley and the elevated altitude worsens ozone formation and Tulancingo generally maintains moderate Mexican highland valley readings throughout most of the year.

When is air pollution at its worst in Tulancingo?
In Tulancingo, road traffic as well as textile and manufacturing operations are the main local sources, with conditions worsening when the surrounding valley traps air close to the ground. Topographic enclosure in the valley lets pollution accumulate rather than clear out. Photochemical reactions in the heat push ozone levels higher.
Are air quality levels in Tulancingo 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.
