Resumen:

The Americas encompass a broad range of geographical and climatic environments that affect air quality in addition to diverse socioeconomic and political factors. In North America, countries have undergone similar urban migrations and economic growth while curbing overall emissions and setting similar goals for air quality standards. This has led to dramatic air quality improvements over the last 40 years, but progress has slowed in the last decade as more stringent standards have been adopted and additional incremental progress in air quality has become difficult to achieve. In Central and South America and the Caribbean, information on air quality conditions is more uneven with countries acting more independently. Thus, countries of the Americas still face diverse air quality challenges that span from urban to rural settings. Those challenges are driven by unique combinations of emissions sources along with meteorological and geographical conditions. The information presented in this chapter has been organized according to the different points of view each region and country in the Americas have adopted to improve their air quality. In some cases, there are joint efforts, and in others, the actions of each country are mentioned to improve the air that surrounds it, according to its resources and priorities. © Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. 2023.
