研究人员对吉隆坡 15017-12 岁的学童进行了室内环境因素对呼吸道疾病的影响研究。每周至少三个晚上接触蚊香烟雾与哮喘和持续性喘息独立相关。被动吸烟（定义为与成年吸烟者共用一间卧室）与过去一年的胸部疾病独立相关。没有发现接触煤油炉、柴火炉、熏蒸垫驱蚊剂或气雾杀虫剂与呼吸道疾病之间的关系。预测至少一种呼吸系统结局的宿主因素包括胸部疾病家族史、过敏史、男性、新生儿期住院和父亲教育程度低。有 95% 的置信度，避免经常接触蚊香烟雾和被动吸烟可以将持续性喘息、哮喘和胸部疾病的患病率降低高达 29%。肺功能测量证实了研究问卷中有关喘息和哮喘问题的有效性。
The effects of indoor environmental factors on respiratory illness were studied in 15017-12 year old school children in Kuala Lumpur. Exposure to mosquito coil smoke for at least three nights a week was independently associated with asthma and persistent wheeze. Passive smoking, defined as sharing a bedroom with an adult smoker, was independently associated with a chest illness in the past year. No relationships were found between exposure to kerosene stoves, wood stoves, fumigation mat mosquito repellents or aerosol insecticides and respiratory illness. Host factors predictive of at least one respiratory outcome included family history of chest illness, history of allergy, male sex, hospitalization in the neonatal period and low paternal education. With 95% confidence, avoidance of regular exposure to mosquito coil smoke and passive smoking could reduce the prevalences of persistent wheeze, asthma and chest illness by up to 29%. Measurements of lung function confirmed the validity of questions pertaining to wheezing and asthma in the study questionnaire.
