作者对泰国曼谷空气污染对健康的潜在不利影响进行了横断面研究。在1998至1999年间，作者对曼谷的78名男性交通警察和60名男性非交通警察以及泰国农村大城府的68名男性普通警察进行了肺功能测试和美国胸科学会肺病分部(ATS-DLD)呼吸问卷的泰文版。交警中未发现肺功能下降的一致趋势。作者控制了年龄、身高和吸烟指数，在此之后，曼谷警察的1秒用力呼气量和25%肺活量的最大呼气流速(V(Over Dot)(25))的平均水平显著低于大城府警察。曼谷警察的呼吸道症状患病率略高于大城府警察。多元回归分析表明，年龄和工作场所是影响1秒用力呼气量和V(点以上)(25)的统计学显著因素。这项研究提供了一些证据，表明曼谷交警周围呼吸道阻塞改变的患病率有所增加。
The authors undertook a cross-sectional study of the potential adverse health effects of air pollution in Bangkok, Thailand. During 1998 and 1999, the authors administered lung function spirometry tests and a Thai version of the American Thoracic Society's Division of Lung Diseases (ATS-DLD) respiratory questionnaire to 78 male traffic police and 60 male nontraffic police in Bangkok, as well as to 68 male general police in Ayutthaya province, a rural area in Thailand. No consistent trend of decreased pulmonary function was observed in traffic police. The authors controlled for age, height, and smoking index, after which mean levels of forced expiratory volume in I sec and maximal expiratory flow rate in 25% of vital capacity (V(over dot)(25)) were significantly lower in Bangkok police than in Ayutthaya police. The prevalence of respiratory symptoms among Bangkok police was slightly higher than among Ayutthaya police. Multiple regression analysis identified age and workplace as statistically significant factors that contributed to the values of forced expiratory volume in 1 sec and V(over dot)(25). This study provided some evidence of an increase in prevalence of obstructive changes in the peripheral airways among traffic police in Bangkok.
