The most prominent pollutant throughout the city is automobile exhaust, which still to this day maintains high concentration levels of lead from before gasoline went lead-free. Sulfur dioxide and carbon monoxide present two additional pollutants hanging in the air over Mexico City, as well, proving "very difficult to control and are still very worrisome from the point of view of the health effects…because they penetrate deeply into the lungs" (Air Pollution: Mexico City). This inability to dissipate such toxic substances is due to the city's proximity; a synergistic combination of high altitude and abundant sunlight create an "ideal environment for these dangerous compounds to accumulate and linger" (Air Pollution: Mexico City), ultimately proving extraordinarily damaging to the ozone. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
