In Mexico City, several air quality parameters are measured continuously by an Automated Monitoring Network operated by the Under Secretariat of Ecology. Carbon monoxide, particulate matter, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxide, and ozone are the contaminants exceeding Air Quality Standards. Emissions produced by 2.7 million vehicles and 35,000 commercial and industrial outfits are not easily dispersed in a Valley located at 2240 m and surrounded by two mountain chains which hinder air circulation. An Integral Program, recently established to alleviate pollution, is briefly described.

Volcanic eruptions are natural sources of sulfur oxides, and lightings are natural sources of nitrogen oxides and ozone, while combustion processes are the main anthropogenic sources of these two pollutants. 

While these vary depending on compound class, for aU POPs considered in this chapter, indoor-outdoor air concentration ratios exceed 1 (Abdallah, Harrad, and Covaci, 2008 Currado and Harrad, 1998 Harrad, Hazrati, and Ibarra, 2006 Shoeib et ah, 2004, 2005). Hence, unlike classical air pollutants like particulate matter, nitrogen oxides, and ozone, there appears negligible influence of outdoor sources on the indoor environment. 

It was established that in general, the mean long-term levels of air pollutions exceed the admissible values for the following trace components dust, nitrogen oxides and ozone. This are a number of factors responsible for this.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of switching to methanol-powered vehicles Methanol burns more cleanly than gasoline, and levels of troublesome pollutants such as carbon monoxide, unreacted hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides, and ozone are reduced (Chapter 4). However, there is concern about the higher exhaust emissions of carcinogenic formaldehyde from methanol-powered vehicles. Since the number of methanol-powered vehicles is limited, it is still difficult to assess the extent to which these formaldehyde emissions will contribute to the total aldehyde levels from other sources.

Fhotochemical smog is a complex mixture of components in which both nitrogen oxides and ozone play important roles. Smog components are nerated mainly in automobile engines, and smog control consists largely of controlling auto emissions. 

There are two types of smog. One, photochemical smog, requires sunlight to initiate reactions that produce pollutants such as nitrogen oxides and ozone. The other type of smog, called industrial or London smog, occurs in areas where coal containing sulfur is burned and the unwanted product sulfur dioxide is emitted. 

The first criterion bases on sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, carbon monoxide, benzene, ozone, particulate matter PM 10, lead, arsenic, cadmium, nickel and benzo(a)pyrene contained in PM 10, particulate matter PM2,5. Second criterion uses sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides and ozone. Highlighted...

Smogs are complex materials that are at least partly colloidal. The suspended particles are both solid and Uquid. Other constituents of smog are molecular, for example, sulfur oxides, nitrogen oxides, and ozone.
