Abstract
The PM10 airborne particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter ≤10 µm is considered as a risk factor of various adverse health outcomes, including lung cancer. Here we described the sampling and composition of PM10 collected from an industrial zone (IZ), and a commercial zone (CZ) of Mexico City. The PM10 was collected with a high-volume sampler in the above mentioned locations and both types of PM10 sampled were characterized by the content of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), metals, and endotoxin. The endotoxin PM10 content from IZ and CZ displayed 138.4 UE/mg and 170.4 UE/mg of PM10, respectively.

Data were acquired used through a kinetic assay of Limulus Amebocyte lysate (BioWhittaker, Walkersville, MD, USA) using Escherichia coli endotoxin as standard
PM10 sampled reveals the presence of harmful components such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and oxidant metals
Summary
Sampling and composition of airborne particulate matter (PM10) from two locations of Mexico City. We described the sampling and composition of PM10 collected from an industrial zone (IZ), and a commercial zone (CZ) of Mexico City. The PM10 was collected with a high-volume sampler in the above mentioned locations and both types of PM10 sampled were characterized by the content of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), metals, and endotoxin.
