本文描述的呼吸系统疾病的儿童都出生在1946年3月的第一周，卫生访客、学校护士、校医和教师不时地报告他们的情况。调查的完整描述可以在其他地方找到(道格拉斯，1964)。1961年，当这些儿童15岁时，最初调查样本中的4592人(5362人)生活在英国，其中3866人有关于空气污染的信息。这项分析的目的是检查呼吸道感染与在高污染或低污染地区长时间逗留之间的关系。空气污染突然增加的影响，例如发生在1952年的伦敦雾中。它们不在讨论范围内；众所周知，它们与婴儿期以及中老年的大量死亡有关。这篇论文的主题是长期暴露在污染的空气中，其影响不太清楚。
The children whose respiratory illnesses are described in this paper were all born during the first week of March, 1946, and have been reported on at intervals by health visitors, school nurses, school doctors, and teachers. A full description of the survey will be found elsewhere (Douglas, 1964). In 1961, when the children were 15 years old, 4,592 of the original survey sample (5,362) were living in Great Britain and information on air pollution is available for 3,866 of them. The object of this analysis is to examine the relationship between respiratory infections and prolonged sojourn in areas of high or low pollution. The effects of sudden increases in air pollution, such as occurred, for example, in the London fog of 1952. are not under discussion; they are known to be associated with a heavy toll of deaths in infancy as well as in middle or old age. The effects of prolonged exposure to polluted air, which are the subject of this paper, are less clear.
