PEREVOCHTCHIKOVA, María. The Current Status of Environmental Monitoring in the Mexico City Metropolitan Zone. Estud. demogr. urbanos [online]. 2009, vol.24, n.3, pp.513-547. ISSN 2448-6515.  https://doi.org/10.24201/edu.v24i3.1327.

It has been proved that without an efficient, integral environmental monitoring system that provides hard back-up data for a diagnosis of the environmental situation, it is impossible to draw up new public policies to solve the problem faced by urban areas. This paper reviews the current status of environmental monitoring in the Mexico City Metropolitan Zone from three angles: climatological, hydrometric and air quality. It also detects the main progress, limitations and other particularities and at the end, environmental monitoring is complemented by the social and economic part.
