El Paso's San Jacinto Plaza air quality reflects the historic downtown El Paso urban park, with vehicle traffic on the surrounding Mesa Street corridor and the concentrated downtown commercial character contributing local sources. The Franklin Mountains to the north and the Juárez Mountains across the border create topographic variation, while cross-border vehicle and industrial emissions from Ciudad Juárez on southerly winds and the flat Rio Grande valley contribute to the local air quality background throughout the year.
