Air Pollution and Citizen Awareness

Air pollution has become a key problem of daily life in large cities. This publication sets out the results of a project conducted during 2000-2002 to study the management of air pollution in three Latin American cities of Mexico City, Sao Paulo and Santiago. The project focused on the awareness and participation of the inhabitants of the affected cities about the problem and the importance of citizen involvement for the development of effective policy strategies and mechanisms for air pollution control.
