In 1992, ordinance 2910 ruled for the prevention and control of pollution produced by industrial liquid discharges and emissions into the atmosphere. Contaminating sources were manufacture of fabrics, metal products, food, beverages and tobacco with low biodegradability and high toxicity inorganic inputs and wastewater of Northern Quito majorly caused contamination of Monjas River.
