About the CICA
CICA, from the Center's Spanish name, Centro de Información sobre Contaminación de Aire, provides bilingual (Spanish and English) technical support and assistance in evaluating air pollution problems along the US-Mexico border.
The U.S. - Mexico Border 2020 Program, is the result of the partnership among federal, state, and local governments in the United States and Mexico, and with U.S. border tribes. Its mission is to protect the environment and public health in the U.S.-Mexico border region, consistent with the principles of sustainable development. The Border 2020 Program Web Site provides access to border program information (organization, workgroups, goals, history, accomplishments, etc), and border-related reports, documents, events, activities and Web links.
The Border Air Quality Data section of the CICA Web Site provides access to air quality monitoring data for the U.S.-Mexico border region.
