Sampling and composition of airborne particulate matter (PM(10)) from two locations of Mexico City

The PM(10) airborne particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter ≤10 µm is considered as a risk factor of various adverse health outcomes, including lung cancer. Here we described the sampling and composition of PM(10) collected from an industrial zone (IZ), and a commercial zone (CZ) of Mexico C...

Descripción
Sumario:The PM(10) airborne particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter ≤10 µm is considered as a risk factor of various adverse health outcomes, including lung cancer. Here we described the sampling and composition of PM(10) collected from an industrial zone (IZ), and a commercial zone (CZ) of Mexico City. The PM(10) was collected with a high-volume sampler in the above mentioned locations and both types of PM(10) sampled were characterized by the content of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), metals, and endotoxin. The endotoxin PM(10) content from IZ and CZ displayed 138.4 UE/mg and 170.4 UE/mg of PM(10,) respectively.
