The Mexico City Air Quality Research Initiative (MARI) is one project that is examining the complex relationship between air pollution, economic growth, societal values, and air quality management policies. The project utilizes a systems approach including computer modeling, comprehensive measurement studies of Mexico City's air pollutants, environmental chemical reaction studies and socioeconomic analyses. MARI, a three-year effort, has three separate components: Task 1 - Modeling and Simulation; Task 2 - Measurement and Characterization; and Task 3 - Strategic Evaluation. In this work we present an overview of the project objectives and progress, highlighting the results obtained during three major field exercises in the Mexico City Basin and some results of simulating control strategies.
