Abstract

Air pollution in Bogotá is an issue that is increasingly treated as it not only affects the environment, it also affects human health and although it affects all of us in the long term, there are people who are more vulnerable to suffering acute diseases due to these pollutants, among which are children under 5 years of age and older adults, in this case we are investigating what is related to affected children in the town of Kennedy, UPZ 82 for four years, from 2016 to 2019, for which they use the databases of the CAMI of Patio Bonito and the RMCAB, to later determine the main causes of era, among these is PM 2.5 according to a Vester matrix performed, an approximate quantification of both direct and indirect costs related to the treatment of an era case, and finally the existing correlation between the era cases attended in those years and the amount of pm 2.5 that was generated in that period of time, the statistical software is used. co Stata and time lags are taken into account since an inhaled amount of contaminant does not affect immediately, it can affect in the short, medium and long term depending on the concentration that was presented and the level of vulnerability of the affected to finally determine by each µm / m ^ 3 of pm 2.5 that is emitted or ceases to be emitted in which quantity varies the number of era cases attended.
