The
Mexico City Air Quality Research Initiative (MARI) or Estudio
Global de la Calidad del Aire en la Ciudad de Mexico (EGCA) was
a 3 1/2-year, $9,000,000 international collaborative effort with
the Los Alamos National Laboratory and the Instituto Mexicano
del Petroleo as the lead institutions. The MARI project examined
the relationship between air pollution, economic growth, societal
values, and air quality management policies. The project utilized
a systems approach that included airshed modeling, comprehensive
measurement studies of Mexico City's air pollutants, and socioeconomic
analysis. |
