Authorities activate phase 1 due to environmental contingency in the Valley of Mexico

Just on Wednesday, the authorities had suspended the contingency, after the high pressure system allowed an increase in the intensity of the wind in the Valley of Mexico, “by changing its center of position, this also favored the entry of moisture and a greater dispersion of contaminants”.

“However, during the course of this day, said meteorological system strengthened significantly, and again intensified atmospheric stability, causing variable and weak wind intensity. The combination of these factors together with the intense solar radiation that has affected the Valley of Mexico, caused an increase in ozone concentrations and Extremely Poor air quality,” the Commission said in a statement.

“Therefore, based on the Programs to Prevent and Respond to Atmospheric Environmental Contingencies published by the governments of Mexico City and the State of Mexico, which apply in the Metropolitan Area of ​​the Valley of Mexico, the Environmental Commission of the Megalopolis ACTIVATES PHASE 1 OF ENVIRONMENTAL CONTINGENCY BY OZONE, in order to reduce the population’s exposure to polluted air and the risk of affecting their health,” he added.
