利用北卡罗来纳州学校哮喘调查中关于北卡罗来纳州公立学校 64,432 名青少年呼吸健康状况的数据以及学校员工提供的有关校舍环境健康状况的数据，我们评估了过去一年中估计接触学校附近纸浆造纸厂产生的空气污染物的学生中白天喘息的患病率。在学生就读的学校中，14% (37/266) 位于一个或多个纸浆和造纸厂 30 英里范围内，266 所学校中有 9 所的调查受访者发现了工厂的气味。与在距离制浆造纸厂 30 英里以内的学校就读的学生相比，在距离制浆造纸厂 30 英里以外的学校就读的学生中，吸烟者和接触家庭香烟烟雾的非吸烟者白天喘息的患病率较高。
Using data from the North Carolina School Asthma Survey about the respiratory health of 64,432 adolescents attending public schools in North Carolina and data provided by school employees about the environmental health conditions of the school buildings, we assessed the prevalence of daytime wheezing during the past year among students estimated to be exposed to air pollutants arising from pulp and paper mills located near the schools. Of the schools the students attended, 14% (37/266) were located within 30 miles of one or more pulp and paper mills and odor from the mills was identified by survey respondents for 9 of the 266 schools. The prevalences of daytime wheezing in smokers and nonsmokers with household cigarette smoke exposure were elevated among students attending schools located within 30 miles of a pulp and paper mill, compared to the prevalence among students attending schools located beyond 30 miles (
