Resumen:
Particulate matter (PM) is widely recorded as a source of diseases, being considered by some studies as the most harmful air pollutant. In fact, it is estimated that PM is responsible of 800.000 premature deaths annually. Among PM, the fine fraction (those smaller than 2.5?m of diameter) is identified as the most dangerous. PM is released in the environment as a consequence of different activities, being one of them the concrete production. Although some studies have been carried out relating fine PM emission from cement plants and health effects, we still don’t have much info about the behavior this pollutant adopts inside the human body.
