mexicos pollution

In recent years, Mexico has faced extremly high levels of pollution.  The pollution levels are so high it is causing a lot of  heath problems.  Mexico city, Guadalajara, and Cidudad Juarez are the most polluted, but Mexico City is the worst one of the worsts among the world.  Mexico city's air is rated at 179 mg per cubic meter of suspended particulates.  The average is around 90.  Exaust fumes from Mexico city 3 million cars is the main source of pollutants. In Mexico City, poisines air and choking smoke from forest fires is costing Mexico millions dollars a day in lost industirial production and extra health costs.  In 1998 Mexico City declared a fourth consecutive day of smog emergincies.  There is an estimated 500,000 mexico city residents have some sort of health problem.  Of those up to 5,000 have a cronic deadly diesese.

I have learned alot about pollution in mexico like that mexico has deadly high levels of pollutin.  Its causing many health problems.  There are three major citys that have really high levels of pollutin.  those citys are almost double of what the average is.  If more people walked instead of driving cars that would also reduce the amount of pollution in the air.  Forest fires are also a big deal for mexico along with the big indistries.  Thats what i learned about mexicos polluitin.
