Air pollution and environmental degradation is one of the most pressing problems. Overpopulation, irresponsible consumer habits and geography create a "perfect storm" in the Valley of Mexico that allows pollution to be the problem it is there.
The main urban area (Mexico 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".
This smog can cause burning in the eyes and throat of visitors not used to it within a few days, especially in those with sensitivities to pollutants.
