| Sumario: | On April 22, 1997, the city of Cordoba opens the Municipal Environmental Observatory. Up to the year 2001, the city had an automatic monitoring net of atmospheric pollution generating continuous measurements of contaminants criteria (NO2, SO2, CO, O3 and PM10). Other non conventional atmospheric contaminants such as Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC’s) were also measured but sporadically and without consistency. This work starts from the need to have measurements of environment concentration of VOC’s to assess the health risk and take decisions regarding public and private policies, since they require information about levels of population exposure to contaminants, number of people exposed, length of exposition, and the knowledge of quantitative relationships between exposition and effects on health. In this short communication we inform about the results of a year of continuous monitoring of VOC’s in the micro center of the city of Cordoba. |
