Abstract
Metallic pollutants were measured in dwellings in Mexico City by instr umental neutron activation analysis (INAA) and X-ray fluorescence tech niques. Monitoring was performed in the west side of the city and in t he winter season. In general the average concentration of contaminants collected, when compared with the average concentrations reported in a previous paper, have increased with time and in the particular case of lead and mercury some samples are above the indicative WHO maximum levels.
