Trends and forecasts of the main atmospheric pollutants (O3, SO2, NO2, CO, PM10, PM2.5, NO and NOX) are estimated by regions of the Metropolitan Zone of Mexico City (MZMC), with maximum daily data from 2008 to 2018. A nonparametric statistical smoothing controlled technique based on the Hodrick and Prescott filter and estimated through the Kalman filter, is used. Both point and interval estimates, as well as their respective forecasts are generated. The estimates against the Environmental Standard for Mexico City (NADF-009-AIRE-2017) are compared, and it is evident that, in general, they are still distant from good air quality in the MZMC, as opposed to CO and NO2. The remaining pollutants have trends and forecasts, which are far from the permissible limits.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
