Air pollution caused by motor vehicles is a major environmental problem in
many Latin American urban centers. If appropriate measures are not taken
soon, vehicular air pollution in the region is likely to worsen, posing a
great threat to human health and welfare. This report analyzes the
pollutants emitted by motor vehicles, their effects, and pollutant-control
measures targeted at vehicles, fuels, and transport management. Case studies
for Mexico City, Mexico, Santiago, Chile, Sao Paulo, Brazil, Belo Horizonte,
Brazil, Buenos Aires, Argentina, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and Santafa de
Bogota, Colombia, illustrate how these measures have been used in the region
and how they can be strengthened.
