The project is proposed and supported by the National Environment and Heritage Protection Council, who will be reviewing Australian air quality standards from 2005. The study aims to determine whether current air quality standards adequately protect the health of Australian school children, and to provide nationally-based information to inform any changes to the current standards. A cross-sectional study will examine cumulative effects; a nested panel study will quantify day-to-day effects of air pollution in sensitive children. Sampling will ensure national representation and generalisability of findings. This will be the first nationally-based study of the relationship between air quality and child health in Australia.

该项目是由国家环境和遗产保护委员会提出并支持的，该委员会将从2005年起审查澳大利亚的空气质量标准。这项研究旨在确定当前的空气质量标准是否足以保护澳大利亚学龄儿童的健康，并提供基于全国的信息，以便为当前标准的任何变化提供信息。一项横断面研究将检验累积效应；嵌套小组研究将量化空气污染对敏感儿童的日常影响。抽样将确保调查结果的全国性代表性和普适性。这将是澳大利亚第一个关于空气质量和儿童健康关系的全国性研究。
