Ozone Pollution Triggers Phase 1 Contingency in Mexico Valley

Ozone pollution in the Mexico Valley Metropolitan Area reached very poor air quality levels, leading the Megalopolis Environmental Commission (CAMe) to activate Phase 1 of the environmental contingency. This includes restrictions on vehicular circulation and various productive sectors for Sunday, September 13. A high-pressure system caused the accumulation of pollutants, with high and continuous solar radiation adding to the problem. The contingency affects vehicles with specific holograms and license plate endings, while exemptions include electric and hybrid vehicles, those with an ecological license plate, and emergency services.
