A CO2-laser-based photoacoustic spectrometer was used to determine the temporal concentration profile of atmospheric ethene in Mexico City. Ethene measurements were conducted at the facilities of our institute, which is located in the north of the city and next to an avenue with heavy traffic density. Ambient air from outside our laboratory was continuously pumped into the spectrometer. This campaign was performed for 24 h a day, from November 24–30, 2001. The maximum ethene levels ranged between 26 and 81 ppbV. As expected, the lowest concentrations were monitored on weekends. These data were analyzed in combination with ozone and nitrogen oxides profiles, which were permanently monitored by an air-pollution-monitoring government network. Information on the seasonal variability of ethene was obtained by comparing the results of this campaign with data obtained in the winter of 2001. In general, the ethene concentration in November was about 30% higher than in February. On weekdays, the mean dose of human...
