I agree with Dan here. I also don't have lung or allergy problems, but
distinctly remember flying into Mexico City years back, and my eyes started
to water at 35,000 feet. I suppose it was from brown haze I could see below
that completely blanketed the city.
Last year, I also had the pleasure (it was fun!) of renting a new, "old" VW
Beetle in Mexico and driving around for 10 days.

Rick, you need to talk to the federal government about that....
Specifically, the DOT...
Ever been to Mexico City?? I have no lung-related problems, but when I was
there a few years ago, in January, when the air is supposedly at it's
cleanest, I had a hard time in the incredible smog. When you land there,
you cannot see the city for the smog until immediately before you land. I
am not a 'greenie' but I would hate for our cities to be as bad as Mexico
City from a smog perspective....
