Answer 2

Air pollution in Mexico is mainly caused by the large number of unregulated vehicles that emit high levels of black carbon (soot) throughout the streets of the city. This soot is derived from the incomplete combustion of diesel fuels. The main reason why diesel fuel is not burnt properly is because there is less oxygen in Mexico City given its altitude (2240 metres (7349 ft) above sea-level).

Another problem that concerns soot is the fact that it is hydrophobic. While all other air pollutants such as sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide and nitrogen dioxide are washed out of the atmosphere when it rains, soot is not. The Mexican government has successfully reduced most forms of air pollution in Mexico City, except for the soot, since this is the most difficult to remove.

Another cause of air pollution in Mexico city is that the fact that the city is surrounded on three sides by mountains. This of course prevents the air pollution from easily escaping on days and nights when there is little wind.

Mexico City was founded on what once was the floor of lake Texcoco. Also, the Texcoco valley is surrounded by many hills and mountains that prevent strong air currents from ever reaching Mexico City.
