Abstract

Since the late 1970s, it has been recognized that air pollution is a major environmental problem in the Mexico City Air Basin (MCAB) (Bravo-Alvarez 1987; Vizcaíno-Murray 1975). Before the introduction of low-lead fuels in 1986, lead (Pb) was probably the most harmful pollutant in the MCAB (Bravo and Torres 2002). However since the mid 1980s, photochemical smog has been the primary concern of city officials and of the federal government because the frequency at which the air quality standard for ozone (O3) is surpassed and because of the deleterious effects on people, plants, animals, and materials (Bauer and Krupa 1990; Krupa 1997; Quadri and Sánchez 1994). Forests to the south and southwest of Mexico City are located within a short distance of the urban zone and in the direction of the prevailing winds, which carry heavy atmospheric pollution loads into these forested areas (Bravo and Torres 2002; Jauregui 2002). The Desierto de los Leones (DL) National Park (Fig. 8.1) is the most impacted forested area in the entire (MCAB).
