Researchers estimate a 10 percent drop in toxic air particles in Mexico City would stop 10,000 cases of chronic bronchitis and prevent 3,000 deaths each year. Urge Mexico's Secretary of Environment and Natural Resources to take action before Mexico City residents' health is further damaged. !Junto, podemos diferenciar!
Dear Secretary Elvira Quesada,
I recently learned of the results of Mexico's National Autonomous University (UNAM) study on Mexico City residents' sense of smell. I am disturbed that the findings suggest smog is killing people's ability to detect the scents of items such as coffee, orange juice and rotting food. The pollution in Mexico City must be stopped.
As you know, Mexico City exceeds the World Health Organization's ozone level standards 300 days each year. These standards are in place to protect people from the toxic particles in the pollution that blankets Mexico City. It is critical that your government takes a stand on reducing pollution for the health of your people.
Researchers estimate a 10 percent drop in toxic air particles in Mexico City would stop 10,000 cases of chronic bronchitis and prevent 3,000 deaths each year. Please make policies that would reduce toxic air particles a central facet of your plan for the future.
