Journal ArticleDOI
Air pollution and infant mortality in Mexico City.
TL;DR: A time-series study of infant mortality in the southwestern part of Mexico City in the years 1993 to 1995 using mortality data from death registrations and air pollution measurements from a monitoring station the authors operated found excess infant mortality was associated with the level of fine particles in the days before death.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mortality and ambient fine particles in southwest Mexico City, 1993-1995.
TL;DR: Findings support previous findings that urban air pollution at current levels leads to excess mortality and suggest that fine particles may play a causal role in producing that excess.
Journal ArticleDOI
Airborne Coarse Particles and Mortality
TL;DR: In this article, the authors conducted a daily time-series analysis of mortality in relation to measurements of PM2.5, PM10, and PM10-2 in southwestern Mexico City in the years 1992-1995.
Journal ArticleDOI

Margarita Castillejos,Diane R. Gold,Douglas W. Dockery,Tor D. Tosteson,Timothy M. Baum,Frank E. Speizer +5 more
TL;DR: The effects of ambient ozone (O3) on respiratory function and acute respiratory symptoms were evaluated in 143 7- to 9-yr-old schoolchildren followed longitudinally at 1- to 2wk intervals at three schools in Pedregal, Mexico City.
Journal ArticleDOI
Relations between PM10 composition and cell toxicity: a multivariate and graphical approach.

TL;DR: The results indicate that there is heterogeneity in particle mass, composition and toxicity in samples collected at different sites, and conclude that interactions of PM(10) components determine specific cellular outcomes.
