Tuxtepec's air quality reflects the flat Oaxacan Papaloapan River delta's tropical position, with vehicle traffic on surrounding roads and the sugarcane, paper mill, and agricultural corridor contributing local sources. Gulf of Mexico trade winds and the tropical climate's frequent convective rain provide ventilation and atmospheric cleansing, while the paper mill's distinctive organic industrial emissions represent Tuxtepec's most locally unique air quality contribution throughout most of the year.

When is air pollution at its worst in Tuxtepec?
In Tuxtepec, traffic emissions as well as agricultural burning are the main local sources, with conditions worsening when windblown dust events occur. Strong seasonal winds can lift dust from the surrounding dry terrain and push particulate levels sharply higher. Maritime airflow normally ventilates the area well, though calmer spells let levels rise.
Are air quality levels in Tuxtepec 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.
