Temuco is one of the most highly wood smoke polluted cities in Chile; however, there is scarce evidence of respiratory morbidity due to fine particulate matter. We aimed to estimate the relationship between daily concentration of ultrafine particles (UFP), with an aerodynamic diameter <= 0.1 mu m...

Health risks caused by short term exposure to ultrafine particles generated by residential wood combustion: A case study of Temuco,Chile
Residential heating with wood is an important source of ambient air pollution. Evidence links air pollution to serious health effects such as respiratory and cardiovascular mortality and morbidity. We hypothesized that prenatal exposure to wood smoke pollution causes morphological changes in the ...

The Beginnings of Unsustainability: Urban Problems and Institutions in Temuco, 1955-1970
The city has experienced changes as a result of urban land speculation and continuous production of housing as a commodity. An expression of urban change is the emergence of gated communities. This article presents the localization patterns of vertical and horizontal gated communities in the city...

GATED COMMUNITIES IN THE INTERMEDIATE CITY. The case of Temuco (Chile), 2005-2014
This study addresses human health concerns in the city of Temuco that are attributed to wood smoke and related pollutants associated with wood burning activities that are prevalent in Temuco. Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) were measured in air across urban and rural sites over three seas...
