	abstract = {<p>Birth weight data (22,012 live-births) from a public hospital in Porto Velho (Amazon) was used in multiple statistical models to assess the effects of forest-fire smoke on human reproductive outcome. Mean birth weights for girls (3,139~g) and boys (3,393~g) were considered statistically different (p-value \&lt; 2.2e-16). Among all models analyzed, the means were considered statistically different only when treated as a function of month and year (p-value~=~0.0989, girls and 0.0079, boys) . The R2 statistics indicate that the regression models considered are able to explain 65~{\%} (girls) and 54~{\%} (boys) of the variation of the mean birth weight.</p>
