The prevalence of chronic renal insufficiency in children It is up to 700 cases per million inhabitants, when the national and international average is 70 cases per million.

Therefore, the head of the Department of Biosciences in Engineering, the Interdisciplinary Center for Research on Environment and Development (CIIEMAD) of the IPN, stressed that it is necessary to promote programs of analysis and improvement of the quality of the Water of groundwater and groundwater, in order to prevent the spread of serious damage to the health of the population.
