Neas, L AND M. Gonzales. PRELIMINARY RESEARCH FINDINGS OF THE EL PASO CHILDREN'S HEALTH STUDY. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Washington, DC, EPA 600/R-02-047, 2002.

Description:

The El-Paso-Ciudad Juarez area is one of the largest metropolitan areas on the U.S.-Mexico border. Sources of air pollutants inlcude the more than 18 million vehicles, which annually cross between the two cities, heavily traveled roads and interstate freeways, and local industries. During the winter, weather conditions trap air pollutants close to ground level where they concentrate. The main air pollutants that we are studying (particulate matter or soot, and gases such as nitrogen dioxide and volatile compounds) are produced by car and truck emissions.
