This paper presents a study of hourly air pollution time series of coarse and fine particulate matter, carbon monoxide, relative humidity, wind speed and temperature, from the city of Santiago de Chile. Hourly measurements were made of the evolution of the concentration of atmospheric pollutants,...

Introduction: Obesity is a chronic disease resulting from environmental, psychological and genetic factors. The objective was to carry out a bibliometry of the scientific literature on this pathology related to environmental pollutants, food and epigenetics, to elucidate lines of research....

Intake fraction was estimated for measured pollutants in Medellín city: suspended particulates (PM10 and PM2.5), carbon monoxide (CO) and nitrogen oxides (NO_x). The applicable method for primary pollutants was used, according to the existing air quality data in terms of emissions and...

Introduction: Environmental pollution, especially water pollution, has caused great impacts on the ecosystem. Such a situation has several factors involved, one of them is human activity.
