“…Several studies have demonstrated the relationship between ETS exposure and risk of bronchitis and pneumonia (26,27). In addition, exposed to environmental tobacco smoke children with respiratory symptoms and illness can be caused by multiple challenges such as the burdens of a caregiver, absence from work, economic cost and decreased health-related quality of life in children (28)(29)(30). We did not perform further analysis on the risk estimates of children with allergic sinusitis, otitis media and a dose-response association to the daily smoking by caregivers because of the small positive sample size.…”

Objective: Preschool children exposed to environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) are at risk of developing adverse respiratory health effects. The present study aimed to investigate the relationship between the effects of cigarette-smoking caregivers on respiratory symptoms and urinary cotinine (UC) levels in children.Methods: A cross-sectional study consisting of 543 children (aged between 5 and 6 years) from 5 kindergartens in central China was conducted using a structured questionnaire. We also analyzed UC levels to investigate the relationship between respiratory symptoms and ETS exposure. We further performed logistic regression analyses to establish the relationship between respiratory symptoms (coughing, rhinorrhea, and sneezing) and UC levels.Results: A total of 71 (13.08%) children had a history of hospital admission with respiratory illnesses including bronchitis and pneumonia over the last 6 months. In addition, 102 (18.78%) children presented coughing symptoms, 114 (20.99%) experienced rhinorrhea and 79 (14.55%) presented sneezing symptoms over the last 6 months. After adjusting the confounders, odds ratio (OR) indicated that the number of cigarettes smoked by a caregiver was associated with coughing (OR = 11.02; 95% CI, 3.72–33.66), rhinorrhea (OR = 41.83; 95% CI, 5.58–313.05) and sneezing (OR = 4.71; 95% CI, 1.33–16.48). Furthermore, UC levels in children with coughing, rhinorrhea and sneezing were significantly higher than in children without respiratory symptoms (P = 0.002, P < 0.001, P < 0.001, respectively).Conclusions: This study reveals that children exposed to ETS have higher levels of UC. Compared with caregiver who non-smoked live with children, smoked cigarettes were highly risk of developing respiratory illnesses in children. Notably, the higher the UC levels the greater the respiratory risk. Our results also signify that UC can be used as an indicator of ETS exposure to inform caregivers of the associated risks, and inform efforts to reduce related effects.

“…The main source of second-hand smoke from smokers who use tobacco products during the study period is second-hand smoke [27]. The health effects of second-hand smoke can vary, including asthmatic attacks [5], [26] [28], particle dispersion that effects eye [8], [24], [26], and respiratory discomfort from nearby non-smoker due to exposure to the tar, nicotine and carbon monoxide [10], [29]. After the survey conducted, data analysis suggests the classification of the symptoms and health score categorized into two parts namely as low and high symptoms.…”

“…Similarly, with students, when they use the indoor spaces, they need comfortable indoor condition to ensure that they can focus on the study material. Student performance is somehow linked to the indoor environment and this is the reason most of the occupants have varying perspectives through individual assessment and somehow lead to the psychological condition, mental health and respiratory illness [5]. The majority of problems with indoor air quality contribute to poor or inadequate ventilation [6] that can generate bad pollutants circulation within indoor spaces and travel along in the centralized system.…”

“…In addition, the indoor environment is becoming worse where there is non-visible source of the contaminants that can cause bad health issues especially to the occupants with pre-existing medical conditions such as asthma, allergic disease and chemical sensitivity [7]. Chemical exposure within poorly circulated indoor environment operated by mechanical ventilation may led to the decrease of students' performance, distracting focus during teaching and learning process and somehow, relate to the increase of stress levels [5]- [7].…”

In educational facilities, good and healthy indoor air quality is critical to ensure students’ focus and academic activities can be carried out efficiently. The goal of this study was to evaluate the link between indoor air quality level with sick building syndrome and health complaints among occupants. A cross-sectional study was conducted which involved 513 occupants. A modified MM040Na questionnaire was used in this study. Occupants’ workspaces were monitored for indoor air quality. The score obtained from the questionnaire and environmental factors were tested using statistical analyses incorporating test of differences namely Chi–Square, t-test, and non-parametric analysis. Logistic regression was conducted to evaluate relationship between exposure and occupants’ complaint. Results shows that some indoor air pollutants (carbon dioxide, formaldehyde, and particulate matter) are related to overall sick building syndrome (Odd Ratio, OR=1.348, 2.493, 1.958 respectively). General score of sick building syndrome (SBS) shows significant relationship with air motion (OR=2.220) and air flow (OR=2.515). Mucosal score of SBS suggest exposure risk towards indoor factors namely formaldehyde (OR=2.799), while dermal effect was associated from the exposure of Particulate (OR=2.88), carbon dioxide (OR=4.000), and air flow (OR=2.679). In educational environments, indoor contaminants have an impact on reported symptoms.<br /><br />

Environmental chemicals play a significant role in the development of metabolic disorders, especially when exposure occurs early in life. We have recently demonstrated that benzene exposure, at concentrations relevant to a cigarette smoke, induces a severe metabolic imbalance in a sex-specific manner affecting male but not female mice. However, the roles of benzene in the development of aberrant metabolic outcomes following gestational exposure, remain largely unexplored. In this study, we exposed pregnant C57BL/6JB dams to benzene at 50 ppm or filtered air for 5 days/week (6h/day from gestational day 1 to birth) and studied male and female offspring metabolic phenotypes in their adult life. While no changes in body weight or body composition were observed between groups, 4-month-old male and female offspring exhibited reduced parameters of energy homeostasis (VO2, VCO2, and heat production). However, only male offspring from benzene-exposed dams were glucose intolerant and insulin resistant at this age. By six months of age, both male and female offspring displayed glucose and insulin intolerance, associated with elevated expression of hepatic gluconeogenesis and inflammatory genes. Additionally, this effect was accompanied by elevated insulin secretion and increased beta-cell mass only in male offspring. Thus, gestational benzene exposure can reprogram offspring for increased susceptibility to the metabolic imbalance in adulthood with differential sensitivity between sexes.
