Air Pollution in Mexico City © Brain Wrinkles

Mexico City Nearly 20 million people live in Mexico City. It’s the second most populated city in the world--Tokyo is first. The city’s population & location contribute to its bad air pollution problem. It’s considered to be one of the most polluted cities in the world! © Brain Wrinkles

Causes Mexico City’s air pollution is caused by emissions from cars and factories. The Sierra Madre mountains are like walls that surround the city and trap in polluted air. © Brain Wrinkles

Results Mexico City has a high elevation. There is less oxygen so fuels don’t fully burn. This makes a higher level of gas, which can harm eyes, lungs, & the heart. People living in the city breathe in toxic gases and chemicals, which can lead to respiratory diseases. © Brain Wrinkles

Solutions To reduce air pollution, the city promotes public transportation (buses, subway, bikes, etc.). The city is also testing buses that run on cleaner burning fuels. The Mexican government is starting to limit how often you can drive your car and has adopted stricter emission inspections. © Brain Wrinkles
