Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -At the beginning of 2021, Mexico City was experiencing a “Moderate” level of air quality with a US AQI reading of 74. This follows the classification by the World Health Organisation (WHO).
Detailed explanation-3: -Located in the crater of an extinct volcano, Mexico City is about 2, 240 metres above sea level. The lower atmospheric oxygen levels at this altitude cause incomplete fuel combustion in engines and higher emissions of carbon monoxide and other compounds. Intense sunlight turns these into higher than normal smog levels.
Detailed explanation-4: -If your child breathes in high levels of air pollution over a long period of time, they might be at risk of: their lungs not working as well as they grow older. developing asthma during childhood or as an adult-and if they have asthma already, air pollution can make it worse.
