Air pollution in Mexico’s largest cities has become a serious concern for local and national governments. The exhaust fumes from the 3 million cars in Mexico City are causing most of the air pollutants. Although now private car drivers are required to put catalytic converters on their cars or refrain from driving, except for once a week. The other problem is that Mexico City is situated in a basin, so the pollutants are all trapped in the basin. Industrial growth is another leading problem in Mexico City.
I think that this will become an even bigger problem in the coming years, unless they decide to take more action. It is sad that the sky there looks grey and brown, instead of the blue sky that we have here. I don’t understand why the cars they have they create so much more pollution than cars in the U.S. New York City has just as many cars but there sky isn’t brown like Mexico’s. I think that the government should take more steps to cleaner air. Although they have taken steps to cleaner air, they are going to need to do much more in order to get this problem resolved. They should start by informing the public about what damage this pollution can have on them and their children.
