The color intensity indicates normalized particle number concentration (dN/dLogDp) from December 24–27, 2007. Due to an instrument problem, no data were collected between 00:00 and 08:00 h on December 24, 2007. As shown in Fig. 3, particles in Aitken mode showed a high number concentration in the late afternoon (18:00–19:00) for all the 3 days. 50 Y. Wang et al.

Data indicated that more than 50 % of the middle school children reported coughing after tobacco smoke exposure for all the selected Tamaulipas cities. 6 shows the correlation between the percentage of children smoking one cigarette a day and asthma prevalence among children in the middle school based on ISAAC questionnaire data. 9697) between cigarette smoking and asthma prevalence among middle school children (13–14 years of age) was indicated by these data. Since a higher percentage of middle school children in Nuevo Laredo smoke, this could be the reason for the high asthma prevalence amongst these children.
Gor et al. 9 indicate mortality cases due to CLRD for seven South Texas counties and three major cities of Tamaulipas, respectively. The data indicates that mortality cases for CLRD were higher in Hidalgo and Cameron than in the other border counties of South Texas, most likely because those two counties have larger populations. Mortality cases due to CLRD were higher in Reynosa than in Nuevo Laredo and Matamoros for the years for which data was available. 9 shows the mortality rate due to CLRD for South Texas – Northeastern Mexico border region.
