particulate matter are associated with changes in lung function, breath rate, and blood …

OBJECTIVE: The associations between air pollution and children's respiratory health in the
high pollution range have not yet been clearly characterized. We evaluated the effects of …

The association between exposure to ambient particulate matter (PM) and reduced lung
function parameters has been reported in many works. However, few studies have been …

Fine particulate matter (PM2. 5) has been reported to be an important risk factor for asthma.
This study was designed to evaluate the relationship between PM2. 5 and lung function …
