Respiratory symptoms and ventilatory functions were measured in fourth and fifth grade school children living in two areas that differ in air pollution but are comparable with respect to social and demographic factors.Children living in the high polluted area showed a higher prevalence of cough during the day or at night, which is assumed to be due to the difference in pollution level.Mean ventilatory function in the children from both areas did not differ. In both areas mean PEFR (peak expiratory flow rate) and mean FEV (forced expiratory volume) of children with symptoms were lower than in children without.Depending on the criteria used prevalence figures for chronic respiratory disease ranged between 5,3–12,7% in the high polluted and 3,3–9,8% in the low polluted area.
