“…They discovered a rather high respiratory health risk during the smoky haze season in Chiang Mai, Thailand based on toxicity equivalent concentrations of the PAH-bound size-fractionated particulate matters (SPMs) and inhalation cancer risk (ICR). Wang et al [ 57 ] revealed that the health risk assessment of heavy metals showed that non-carcinogenic hazards are not expected to occur, while Cr contributed the highest cancer risk in the industrial areas of China.…”

Particulate matter with a diameter less than 2.5 (PM2.5) is one of the major threats posed by air pollution to human health. It penetrates the respiratory system, particularly the lungs. In northern Thailand, the PM2.5 concentrations have significantly increased in the past decade, becoming a major concern for the health of children. This study aimed to assess the health risk of PM2.5 in different age groups of children in northern Thailand between 2020 and 2029. Based on the PM2.5 data from the simulation of the Nested Regional Climate Model with Chemistry (NRCM-Chem), the hazard quotient (HQ) was used to estimate the possible risk from PM2.5 exposure in children. In general, all age groups of children in northern Thailand will tend to experience the threat of PM2.5 in the future. In the context of age-related development periods, infants are at a higher risk than other groups (toddlers, young children, school age and adolescents), but adolescents also have a lower risk of exposure to PM2.5, albeit maintaining a high HQ value (>1). Moreover, the analysis of risk assessment in different age groups of children revealed that PM2.5 exposure might indeed affect adolescent risk differently depending on gender, with males generally at a heightened risk than females in adolescence.

“…The elevated concentrations of the PM 2.5 , PM 10 , NO 2 , and SO 2 pollutants in winter were primarily due to winter heating, especially the combustion of coal for heating purposes. Previous studies have found that the winter heating policy leads to higher pollution concentrations in Northern China [21,30,31]. Additionally, Zhou et al reported that during winter in China, there is a statistically significant association between air pollution and respiratory mortality in northern cities; however, such an association is not observed in southern cities of China [8].…”

Air pollution can lead to the elevated incidence of various respiratory diseases, seriously endangering the health of urban residents. To better comprehend the association between urban air pollution and respiratory disease incidence, this study focused on Xinxiang City, a typical industrial city in the North China Plain, as the research object. By analyzing monthly air pollution index concentrations from 2018 to 2021 and confirmed cases of respiratory diseases, and incorporating meteorological factors as reference points, we conducted a correlation analysis between disease data and pollutant concentrations. We then constructed a Poisson regression model to obtain maximum likelihood estimates, which were used to predict the quantitative relationship between the incidence of respiratory diseases and air pollution indicators. The results showed that an increase of 1 μg/m³ in the average mass concentration of PM2.5, PM10, NO2, and SO2 in ambient air was associated with an elevated incidence of respiratory diseases by 0.2–1.4%, 0.7–1.6%, 3.7–8.2%, and 0.5–2.3%, respectively; meanwhile, a monthly mean mass concentration of CO increased by 1 mg/m³ led to a rise in pulmonary tuberculosis incidence by 2.9%. Additionally, based on health risk data following exposure to air pollution in Xinxiang City, it was confirmed that the impact of respiratory diseases as measured by the air quality composite index was more applicable than the single pollution index. Furthermore, there was a significant association between air pollution and the incidence of respiratory diseases.
