Sumario:Introduction: Air pollution would increase the risk of severe infection repiratory in pediatrics. Objective: Review impact of air pollution visits for severe infection repiratory in effectors of Buenos Aires City Government. Method: Ecologic research, time-series. Research Sources: Environmental Protection Agency, National Meteorological Service and Integral Health History of the Hospital Management System. Population: Patients under 2 years old who consulted for severe infection repiratory in effectors of Buenos Aires City Government and lived commune with continuous environmental monitoring during 2018. Predictors were daily levels of air pollutants (carbon monoxide, nitrous dioxide, particulate matter < 10 μ). Pollutants were measured at three monitoring stations. Temporal variables (media temperature), sex and effector  were controlled. Resulta Variable: Total numbers of visits and total numbers of visits for severe infection respiratory. To select in the data base the visits to analyze an operative definition was made. Results: 80.287 visits were registered, 24.847 for severe infection respiratory (30%). The visits for severe infection respiratory had positive correlation in Cordoba station with N2O (RR: 1,13 [1,00-1,28]). The numbers of visits for severe infection respiratory was higher during cold months than warm months. (19,9% vs 11,9%; RR:1,67 [1,61-1,72]). Conclusion: average values of PM10 and N2O show correlation with the numbers of total visits and visits for severe infection respiratory. The visits increase during winter.
