Cal-Mex 2010 Publications
Virtual Special Issue:
Atmospheric Studies in the
US-Mexico Border Region
There is growing evidence that the very high levels of toxic pollutants produced along the US-Mexico border regions pose a serious health threat to tens of millions of inhabitants. They also impact ecosystem viability and regional climate for large downwind distances. Rapid population growth, intense economic activities, and increased energy demand are the primary forces driving unprecedented environmental changes along the border regions. This special issue is dedicated to the articles resulting from the collaborative US-Mexico research project to characterize the sources and processing of air pollutants in the California–Mexico (Cal-Mex) border region and their impacts on regional air quality and climate. It is composed of 13 research articles published between 2013-2014.
The Cal-Mex 2010 Field Campaign was sponsored by the US National Science Foundation, US Environmental Protection Agency, California Air Resources Board, the Molina Center for Energy and the Environment, the Mexican Ministry of the Environment and the National Institute of Ecology and Climate Change. The Cal-Mex participants would like to thank the following for logistical support: the Government of the State of Baja California, the City of Tijuana, and the Tijuana Customs Office, as well as local institutions hosting various monitoring sites, including: Sistema de Parques Temáticos de Tijuana, Colegio de Estudios Científicos y Tecnológicos, Universidad Tecnológica de Tijuana, Hunter Industry and Formosa Prosonic. The authors of the special issue are grateful to the editor and the production team of Atmospheric Environment for their support.
