US – Mexico celebrate joint Baja California air quality studies

In Tijuana B. C., Mexico, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the Mexican Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources (SEMARNAT), the Environmental Protection Agency of Baja California, the California Air Resources Board and the Border Environment Cooperation Commission will initiate the Baja California Air Monitoring Network coverage assessment study and the Tijuana-Rosarito Emissions Inventory.
Funded by the EPA through a $173,000 cooperative agreement with the Border Environment Cooperation Commission, today’s studies will shed light on the major sources of air emissions – reflecting the area’s population growth and consequent increase in vehicular traffic and factories - along the Tijuana, Rosarito, Tecate and Mexicali corridor. Updating a 1999 study, these data will be used as a planning tool to help protect public health and air quality from exposure to harmful emissions.
