对生活在两个空气污染程度不同但社会和人口因素相似的地区的四年级和五年级学生进行了呼吸系统症状和排便功能的测量。生活在高污染地区的儿童在白天或晚上咳嗽的患病率较高，这被认为是由于污染水平的差异。来自两个地区的儿童的平均排泄功能没有差异。在这两个地区，有症状儿童的平均PEFR（呼气峰流速）和平均FEV（用力呼气量）低于无症状儿童。根据所用标准，慢性呼吸道疾病的患病率在高污染地区为5.3 - 12.7%，在低污染地区为3.3 - 9.8%。
Respiratory symptoms and ventilatory functions were measured in fourth and fifth grade school children living in two areas that differ in air pollution but are comparable with respect to social and demographic factors.Children living in the high polluted area showed a higher prevalence of cough during the day or at night, which is assumed to be due to the difference in pollution level.Mean ventilatory function in the children from both areas did not differ. In both areas mean PEFR (peak expiratory flow rate) and mean FEV (forced expiratory volume) of children with symptoms were lower than in children without.Depending on the criteria used prevalence figures for chronic respiratory disease ranged between 5,3–12,7% in the high polluted and 3,3–9,8% in the low polluted area.
