Detailed explanation-1: -In order to help the air pollution dilemma, Mexico has developed vertical gardens and a public bike sharing program to help reduce carbon dioxide emissions. The top three environmental issues in Mexico are air pollution, lack of clean water, and deforestation.

Detailed explanation-2: -Population growth, increasing motorization and industrial activities, a constrained basin and intense solar radiation combined to cause intense air-quality problems of both primary and secondary pollutants.

Detailed explanation-3: -Mexico faces a number of very serious environmental challenges. The provision of clean water to Mexico City, air pollution in the capital and other major cities, deforestation and erosion in rural Mexico are some of the most pressing problems.

Detailed explanation-4: -Air pollution in Mexico City, and especially that from PM 2.5, has particularly dramatic effects on work. As we detail in a study of the problem, the roughly 3.5 million workers in the metropolitan area of Mexico City lose an average of 7.5% of their working hours on days of very high PM contamination.

Detailed explanation-5: -According to the World Bank, air pollution kills nearly 33, 000 Mexicans every year. Nearly 20, 000 of these deaths are due to outdoor air pollution, mainly in towns and cities. The remaining 13, 000 are from household air pollution, caused by cooking with wood and other solid fuels. This affects mainly rural communities.
