Most of the evidence regarding the association between air pollution and
health comes from studies in the USA. Nevertheless, air pollution has
become a concern also for local authorities of Latin-American cities and
Bogotá, Colombia is no exception. This paper will develop a model to
define a concentration-response function between three of the most
important air pollutants in Bogotá and the daily respiratory hospital admission
counts in the city during the year of 1998. This article pretends to further
work on this area by giving the first step towards a more detailed estimation
of the costs of air pollution in Bogotá.
