Mexico City sits in a high-altitude valley that traps pollutants, creating persistent air quality challenges. While conditions have improved since the 1990s, ozone and PM2.5 remain concerns, especially during the dry season. The city's altitude (2,240m) means pollutants have an amplified effect on exercise performance.
