The problem is not population itself; the unregulated, organic growth of the city is. People have arrived by the millions to Mexico City since the last half of the 20th century, but many of them settled on poor, irregular settlements known as ciudades perdidas (lost cities). These settlements lacked many basic services such as water, electricity or police patrolling and strained already limited resources for the rest of the city's population such as the schooling, transportation and sanitary (garbage disposal) services.
As for pollution, the city sits in a valley surrounded by mountains. Smog from manufacturing and chemical plants as well as vehicle exhaust fumes get trapped by the surrounding mountains due to lack of any powerful-enough winds. This makes up the layer of gloom that sits over the valley due to a "cook-pot effect".
