The effects of thunderstorms on the electromagnetic and muon components of the cosmic ray secondary flux were studied during severe storms obtained in 2004, analyzing the variations of the counting rates shown in the upper and lower scintillators of the muon telescope installed in Mexico City and considering the data of storms report for the international airport of Mexico City.

The rat has been used extensively as a health sentinel, indicator, or monitor of environmental health hazards, but this model has not been directly validated against human exposures. Humans in Mexico City show upper respiratory tract lesions and evidence of pulmonary damage related to their environmental inhalation exposure. In this study, male and female F344 rats were exposed (23 hr/day) in M...
