Abstract
Located in a pollutant-trapping valley, Mexico City — one of the world’s
largest cities — has had limited success in battling suffocating air pollution.
A new understanding of the health impacts of this pollution — and of
people’s role in both the problem and the solution — could lead to better
targeted, more effective air improvement programs.
