Literature has shown adverse effects of ambient air pollution exposure on various asthma
related outcomes in childhood. However, the associated evidence on pulmonary function …

Objectives To examine the association between long-term exposure to air pollution and lung
function among Chinese schoolchildren in Southern China (Hong Kong). Methods We …

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the adverse effect of exposure to air pollution on lung function
growth in school-aged children. METHODS: A cohort of 1983 children from three districts in …

Lung function in early life has been shown to be an important predictor for peak lung
function in adults and later decline. Reduced lung function per se is associated with …

Although ambient air pollution has been linked to reduced lung function in healthy students,
longitudinal studies that compare the response of asthmatic and healthy adolescents are …

Rationale: Long-term exposure to air pollution has been related to lung function decrements
in children, but the role of timing of exposure remains unknown. Objectives: To assess the …

Background Adverse effects of higher air pollution levels before and after birth on
subsequent lung function are often reported in the literature. We assessed whether low-to …

BACKGROUND: The changes in respiratory functions are among the most sensitive
indicators available for the evaluation of the influence of air pollution on health. OBJECTIVE …

Introduction Information on the long-term effects of different air pollutant levels on lung
function is relatively lacking in Asia and still inconclusive in the world. Age differential effects …

Background: Long-term exposure to ambient air pollution has been associated with adverse
effects on children's lung function. Few studies have examined lung function in relation to …
