Lim et al. (2013) studied the mortality count due to air pollution worldwide and found that "exposure to PM 2.5 contributed 3.2 million premature deaths worldwide in 2010, [mainly] due to cardiovascular disease, and 223 000 deaths from lung cancer".
Air Pollution in Mexico City
Mexico City was once named as the world's most polluted city in the world, but according to IQAir, a Swiss company which keeps track of the air quality of cities around the globe, Mexico City has now dropped down to the 917th most polluted city in the world in 2021. Though its concentration of airborne particles (PM 2.5) still currently exceeds the guideline of the World Health Organization ...
Environmental Injustice in Mexico City: A Spatial Quantile Approach
Area of Study. The choice of the case study of Mexico City is consistent with growing concerns about air pollution in urban areas in developing countries, where high population densities and low quality health services collide with high levels of harmful pollutant concentrations, impacting on residents' health and well-being (Krzyzanowski et al. 2014; Marlier et al. 2016).
The Development of Air Pollution in Mexico City
In June 1960, Ingeniería Química published an article titled "Study of Gravity-Induced Dust Deposit in Mexico City" by Humberto Bravo, Armando Báez, and S. Lares. The study measured air pollution using a method based on gathering and estimating the amount of dust deposited by gravity during (for 12 months).

Improving Air Quality in Megacities: Mexico City Case Study
The Mexico City case study brings together health, transportation, administration, and many other interdisciplinary approaches to understanding and defeating air pollution. Although focused on the Mexico City area, the work conducted under this case study has significance for developing nations generally. Although policies to reduce air ...
Heavy metal pollution of street dust in the largest city of Mexico
In large industrialized cities, tons of particles containing heavy metals are released into the environment and accumulate on street surfaces. Such particles cause a potential risk to human health due to their composition and size. The heavy metal contamination levels, main emission sources, and human health risks were identified in 482 samples of street dust. Heavy metal concentrations were ...
Environmental, Health and Socio-Economic Impacts of Air Pollution in Mexico
In developing countries like Mexico, exposure to air pollution is associated with higher mortality and morbidity rates, especially in the most vulnerable sectors of society. The health impacts attributable to air pollution have been estimated to cost 1% of the global GDP (around USD 2.6 trillion annually) and are expected to increase as a ...

Exploring the Spatial Distribution of Air Pollution and Its ...
Air pollution is one of the most challenging global sustainability problems in the world. Roughly 90% of global citizens live in areas that exceed the acceptable air pollution levels according to the World Health Organization air quality guidelines. However, socially disadvantaged groups are disproportionately located in areas exposed to higher levels of air pollution. Understanding the ...
Toward a Global Understanding of Chemical Pollution: A First
Chemical technologies are essential for modern societies, with more than 95% of all manufactured goods and articles relying on chemistry. While chemicals provide many desired benefits, they may be released during their lifecycle, and cause adverse effects on human health and the environment. Indeed, chemical pollution has now been recognized as one of the "planetary boundaries" (the ...
Smog-Eating Buildings Battle Air Pollution
Add some clever design, and you're most of the way there. It's already happening in famously smoggy Mexico City, where a hospital building called the Torre de Especialidades is shielded by an ...

The situation of chlorpyrifos in Mexico: a case study in environmental
Chlorpyrifos (CPF) is one of the most commonly used organophosphate pesticides. Because CPF was described as a toxic compound without safe levels of exposure for children, certain countries in Latin America and the European Union have banned or restricted its use; however, in Mexico it is used very frequently. The aim of this study was to describe the current situation of CPF in Mexico, as ...
Particulate Air Pollution in Mexico City: A Collaborative Research Project
This paper describes a major collaborative ef-fort to characterize the nature and causes of particulate air pollution in Mexico City. It also describes the efforts of U.S. and Mexican scientists to develop long-term capa-bilities in Mexico for continuing this research.
Community Perceptions on Health Risks Associated With Toxic Chemical
According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), environmental pollution accounts for 23% of global deaths and 26% of deaths among children under 5, which could be prevented if people lived in healthier environments. 1 Potentially toxic elements (PTEs) have been identified as hazardous environmental pollutants of public health concern and are aetiologically linked to acute and chronic health ...
The Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill: A Case Study
A novel horror birthed at the intersection of environment and society. The Deepwater Horizon oil spill was a catastrophe of unparalleled proportions. As "the largest spill of oil in the history of marine drilling operations," the consequences of incident reverbrated through the civilized world (U.S. Government, 2022).

Green areas are essential for life in cities and for the conservation of ecosystem services in the case of megacities such as Mexico City. Green areas mitigate air pollution, reduce the temperature, and promote infiltration to feed the aquifers that, in the case of Mexico City, supply 68% of the water. Additionally, food production and recreational usage are important for the population. In ...
