Multiple techniques will be used to take measurements of both gases and particles. The measurement approach includes various published developments by the research team in both field and controlled environmental studies for a variety of aerosols. To accomplish the desired results of a much improved air quality assessment, an improved basis for modeling of development of air contamination, and execution of a specific epidemiological study, a team of researchers from the US and Mexico was assembled. They also participated in the initial study. The medical members of the team are Dr. J. VanDerslice, head of the University of Texas-Houston School of Public Health at El Paso, and Dr. S. J. Mendoza.
Project is ongoing.
