The main goal of this research was to evaluate the particulate matter and its impact on population of Moyobamba city. This study was focused to prove if the monitoring particulate matter exceeds the pennissible maximun limits impacting on the health of people. The monitoring was realized both the sediment particulate matter and suspended one. The sedimentable particulate matter samples were obtained placing petri dishes contained .filter paper (3 meters high from the soil leve!). Filter Paper was weighted adequaltely during 30 days in a seventh moths period and in eigth selected monitroring stations. The suspended particulate matter samples were obtained using a particle flow measuring device, this equipment absorbed the air in a 24 hours period in the monitoring stations localized on the comer of25 de Mayo Street and Callao Street (D) another one on 20 de Abril Street (block 3), (H). The impacts on the human health were detennined using the Leopold matrix. Likewise, because of the motokars drivers are the most exposed persons, we use a autoevaluation test to measure the anxiety leve! of them. The direct opinion, from the most exposed persons to the contarnination by particulate matter was obatianed through a survey. The amount of sedimentable solid particulate matter obtained was 7.059 Tn/Km2/30 days, it exceeded the pennissible maximun limit established by Health World Organization which is 5 Tn/Km2/30 days. The average flow of suspended particulate matter obtained was 0.23 mg/m3 /24 hours, this no exceeded the maximum limit established by Health Panamerican Organisation. It was detennined that the impact on health ofthe population is low and irregular, the motokar drivers manifested a moderate anxiety leve! and through a survey, it was identified that respiratory illnesses were more frecuenty because of dust breathing. According to the obtained results, there is pollution caused by particulate matter in the Moyobamba city, it does cause a negative impact in human health. Because of this, the proposal measures on the environmental management plan suchs as the paving of the streets and the alternative roads, will reduce impacts on human health. X
