Acute effects of the PM10 and O3 in the healthy school children pulmonary function from Mexicali, BC, Mexico

Particle matter (PM10) and ozone (O3) have been associated with pulmonary function (i.e., FEV1 and FVC) decrements in exposed populations. Mexicali's atmosphere has those pollutants that fail continuously in reaching the Mexican standards. This work presents the results obtained from multiple linear regressions, used to model the FEV1 and FVC behavior of 258 healthy school children between 9 and 12 years old when they are exposed to the PM10 and O3 of the city.
