The Phase I environmental contingency due to air pollution in Mexico City and the State of Mexico continues with restrictions aimed at protecting public health and reducing ozone levels.

The environmental contingency Phase I remains active in Mexico City and the State of Mexico as authorities confirm ongoing measures to combat high ozone pollution levels. This includes the Hoy No Circula program, which restricts vehicular movement in an effort to protect the health of residents by reducing their exposure to contaminated air. The Hoy No Circula program will continue until late evening, according to the Commission for Environmental Protection of the Megalopolis (CAMe).

As part of ongoing efforts to manage air quality, these restrictions are essential due to high levels of ozone, which can pose serious health risks, particularly for vulnerable populations. The metropolitan area is currently experiencing significant pollution, which has necessitated the continuation of the emergency protocols. The measures aim to alleviate the situation and safeguard residents from the adverse effects of air contamination.

The authorities emphasize the importance of these restrictions and encourage residents to adhere to them for their own health and safety. Continuous monitoring of air quality metrics indicates a pressing need for such measures, and local governments are tasked with ensuring compliance to effectively combat pollution until further notice.
