This literature review aims to collect through a literature search the implications of the components of air pollution on the health of those exposed, from the point of clinical and molecular level. For the search where used the MeSH descriptors created by BIREME: air pollution, cardiovascular system, respiratory diseases. They were consulted the following databases: PubMed, ScienceDirect and Scopus. Within the search criteria took into account the year of publication and that the original language was English or Spanish. It was concluded that the study of the different particles and the consequences associated with exposure to these, it is vital for the development of control mechanisms, prevention and treatment; since the same has the ability to generate conditions ranging from something as tangible as pulmonary diseases and occlusive heart disease, to epigenetic changes that affect health.
